Well four plus seven would equal seven tenths.
I think you should combine like terms
For this case, what we must do is solve the following system of equations:
tan (50) = h / x
tan (40) = h / (x + 50)
Solving the system we have:
(x + 50) * tan (40) = h
(x) * tan (50) = h
Matching:
(x + 50) * tan (40) = (x) * tan (50)
Rewriting:
x (tan (50) - tan (40)) = 50 * tan (40)
x = 50 * tan (40) / (tan (50) - tan (40))
x = 118.9692621
Substituting:
h = (x) * tan (50)
h = (118.9692621) * tan (50)
h = 141.7820455
Answer:
The height of the building is:
h = 141.7820455 ft
Y = 6x - 4
basically, we just sub answer choices in to see which ones make the equation true.
answer is : (0,-4) , (1,2) , (3,14)
