Answer:

4.61 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression of the bottom of the shorter building from the top of the taller building = 48° equals the angle of elevation of the top of the taller building from the bottom of the shorter building

Using trig ratios

tan48° = H/d where H = height of taller building and d = their distance apart = 12 m

H = dtan48° = 12tan48° = 13.33 m

Also, the angle of elevation of the top of the shorter building from the bottom of the taller building is 36°

Using trig ratios

tan36° = h/d where h = height of shorter building

h =dtan36° = 12tan36° = 8.72 m

Now, the difference in height of the buildings is thus H - h = 13.33 m - 8.72 m = 4.61 m

The equation h=7sin(pi/21t)+28 can be used to model the height, h, in feet of the end of one blade of a windmill turning on an a
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

7 feet is the length of the blade of the windmill.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation

h = 7 sin(pi/21t) + 28 ------ eq1

At time 't' = 0, the end of the blade is pointing to the right parallel to the ground meaning it is at the same height as the other end. (Ф = 0°)

So, by calculating the maximum height of this end at  Ф = 90°. we can calculate the length of the blade.

Now, we know that a general model equation of a circular simple harmonic motion is represented as :     y = A sinωt + k ----- eq2

Where A is the amplitude that is, maximum displacement from mean to maximum position.

ω is the angular frequency.

Comparing eq1 and eq2:

A = 7

so the difference in blades end height at Ф = 0° and Ф = 90° is 7 feet.

Hence, the length of the blade is 7 feet.

Since x+y equals 5 that means x is 3 and y is 2 because 3+2=5. So now plug it in, 2(3)+3(2). Two multiplied by three is 6 and three times two is 6. So now it’s 6+6 which equals 12. So it’s 2(3)+3(2)=12

What is the result when the number 35 is increased by 20%?<br> Show me your work!
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

first we calculate what is 20% of 35 is then we add it to 35 to find the increased number

35 ÷ 100 = 0.35 this multipled by 20 = 7

35 + 7 = 42

Jillian measured the distance around a small fish pond as 27 yards. Which would be a good estimate for the distance across the p
DochEvi [55]
Assuming the fish pond is round, what you're given is the circumference.
So you know that 2<span>πr = 27.
We want to solve for the diameter, or d = 2r. We should isolate that.
2r = 27/</span><span>π
2r = 8.59 yards, or ~9 yards.</span>

What is the solution set for 6x−9=15, given the replacement set {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}?
vfiekz [6]
6x-9=15
6x=24
x=4
Therefore the answer is A.

Hope this helps :)
