A flagpole is propped on the east side corner of the roof of a building. The angle of depression from the top of the flagpole (A

ngle B) to a point on a neighboring building is 54 degrees. The angle of depression from the bottom of the flagpole (Angle A) to that same point on the building is 41 degrees. The distance from the edge of the building with the flagpole to the point on the neighboring building is 1660 feet (x). What is the height of the flagpole to the nearest tenth

Answer:

The height of flag pole is 841.8 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the flag post is h.

x = 1660 ft

According to the triangle, ABC

tan 41 = \frac{y}{1660}\\\\y = 1443 ft

Now According to the triangle ABD

tan 54 = \frac{h + y }{1660}\\\\h + 1443 = 2284.8\\\\h = 841.8 ft

Sandy charges each family that she babysits a flat fee of 10$ for the night and an extra 5$ per child Kimmi charges 25$ per nigh
Finger [1]
I am not going to answer each but here is a general answer.
y is total price and x is number of kids
Sandy's equation would be y= 10+5x
Kimmi's equation would be y= 25

For them to equal we would have 25=10+5x
Simplify 
5x=15
x=3
So for them to be equal, Sandy should have 3 kids.

So if someone has 5 children then he should choose Kimmi

Which function describes the arithmetic sequence shown?<br> 1,-2, -5, -8, -11, ...
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

a(n)=1+(n-1)(-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice there's a common difference of d=-3.

If we use the formula a(n)=a1+(n-1)d to find the nth term given the first term and the common difference, we will see that the function that describes the arithmetic sequence as a(n)=1+(n-1)(-3)
