Answer:

17.11 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You are using trigonometry in this problem.

The height of the flagpole represents the side opposite the given angle.

The base of the triangle is given as 19 meters and represents the side adjacent to the given angle.

Out of the main trigonomentric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent), only tangent uses both the opposite and adjacent sides.

Tan(angle) = opposite / adjacent

If we plug in what we know into that equation: tan(42 degrees) = h / 19

This means that your answer = 19 * tan(42) = 17.11 meters

Which of the following is equivalent to 7(x-5)+2(6-x)=12?

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

7x - 35 + 12 - 2x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribution is the first step. Multiply 7 to x and -35. And multiply 2 to 6 and -x. That gives you the answer 7x - 35 + 12 - 2x = 12.

What is the slope-intercept equation of the line below? 61 -5

Lemur [1.5K]

$▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪$

The Correct option is ~ B

$\boxed{ \boxed{y = 2x - 3}}$

$\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Step\:\: By\:\:Step\:\:Explanation}}$

Let's find the slope (m) using points (2 , 1) and (0 , -3)

$\mathrm{ \dfrac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} }$

$\dfrac{1 - ( - 3)}{2 - 0}$

$\dfrac{4}{2}$

hence, slope = 2

now, by Observing the given graph we can infer that the given line cuts the y - axis at point (0 , -3), so value of y - intercept (c) = - 3

[ y - coordinate of a point when x - coordinate is equal to 0 is the value of y - intercept of a line ]

And, we know the general equation of line in slope - intercept form is ~

$\boxed{y = mx + c}$

now, let's plug the value of slope (m) and y - intercept (c) in the general equation to find the equation of line in slope intercept form ~

$y = 2x - 3$
