Answer:

53.1°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the wangle of elevation from B to C

Reference angle = x

Opposite side to x = 16 - 4 = 12

Adjacent = 9

Apply trigonometric ratio to find x.

Thus:

tan(x) = \frac{12}{9}

x = tan^{-1}(frac{12}{9})

x= 53.1 (nearest tenth)

Angle of elevation from B to C = 53.1°

Solve the equation by Completing the Square<br> x2 – 10x + 13 = 0
user100 [1]

Answer:

x=5+\sqrt{12}

or

x=5-\sqrt{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-10x+13=0

x^2-10x=-13

x^2-10x+(\frac{10}{2})^2 =-13+(\frac{10}{2})^2

x^2-10x+(5)^2=-13+(5)^2

x^2-10x+25=-13+25\\x^2-10x+25=12

Factor.

(x-5)^2=12

Extract the square root.

x-5=\frac{+}{} \sqrt{12}

Add 5

x=5+\sqrt{12}

or

x=5-\sqrt{12}

dimaraw [331]
I would say to do 637000-437000, which is 200000, and then do 200000/637000. You get 0.314, and the percentage of that in hundreds is 31%.
