Answer:

81.2\:\mathrm{ft}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can form a right triangle and use basic trig for a right triangle to solve this problem:

\tan33^{\circ}=\frac{h}{125}, where h is the height of the tree.

Solving, we get:

h=125\cdot \tan 33^{\circ},\\h\approx \fbox{$81.2\:\mathrm{ft}$}.

Alex is creating an outdoor structure out of two 12 foot boards. The boards must have an angle of elevation
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

5.0 ft - 5.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the structure is to be made using two 12 foot boards, then we expect the total perimeter to be equal to (2*12)= 24 ft.

Using the angle of elevation, 40° and the width of 8 ft then you can apply the formula for tangent of a triangle where ;

Tan α = opposite side length/adjacent length

Tan 40°= h/8

h= 8 tan 40° = 6.71 ft

Applying the cosine of an angle formula to find the length of the sliding side

Cosine β = adjacent length /hypotenuse

Cosine 40°= 8/ sliding side length

sliding side length = 8/cosine 40° =10.44 ft

Checking  the perimeter = 10.44 +8+6.71= 25.15 ft

This is more than the total lengths of the boards, so you need to adjust the height as;

24 - 18.44 = 5.56 ft ,thus the height should be less or equal to 5.56 ft

h≤ 5.6 ft

Ivan has 4 hours of Music on his MP3 player Jazz makes up 1/6 of the total time how many hours of jazz are on Ivan's MP3 player
Crank
So theres 4 hours and 60min equals 1 hour, so multiply 4 by 60 to get 240, so theres 240 minutes of time on the mp3. So 1/6 of that total time (240min) was on jazz, so what you do is divide 240 by 6 to get 40, so every 1/6 is 40min. So you could say he spend 40min listening to jazz, or you could say he spent 2/3 of an hour listening to jazz

Which of the following is the equation of a line parallel to the line y = 4x + 1,
Lisa [10]

Answer:

y = 4x - 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is parallel to the line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 1

Parallel lines have the same slope so the slope of our line is 4.

The line passes through point (5,1)

Slope = change in y ÷ change in x

Taking another point (x,y) on the line,

Slope = \frac{y-1}{x-5} = 4

y - 1 = 4x - 20

y = 4x - 19
