Answer:

30.17feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

the distance from the base of the pole to the tip of the shadow = 49feet (hypotenuse)

angle of elevation = 38°

Required

Height of the flagpole (opposite)

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 38 = H/49

H = 49sin38

H = 49(0.6157)

H = 30.17feet

Hence the flagpole is 30.17feet high

Round 104229 to the nearest ten thousand
saul85 [17]
That is a one hundred thousand number. To round it you need to know this: 5 or more make it go up (make it the next number. For example: 19,530. It would be rounded to 20,000 because of the 5) 4 or less let it be (EXAMPLE : 8,213. It would be 8,000. Because of the 4.) 

Then you need to find the ten thousand. In this case it is the 0. (104,229) Then you round it off to 100,000. The answer is 100,000.

a snowball is rolled down a giant hill. the radius of the snowball grows. every second the radius increases by 0.36 inches. four
Bad White [126]

Based on the fact that the radius of the snowball increases by 0.36 inches every second, the linear function can be found to be y = 0.36x + 1.66

<h3>How to find the linear function?</h3>

The linear function is the function that shows how to change in the rate of the independent variable would affect the rate of change in the dependent variable.

The linear function takes the form:

y = mx + b

y = dependent variable

m = slope or change in radius of snowball

x = seconds

b = y-intercept

Solving for the y-intercept gives:

3.1 = 0.36(4) + b

b = 3.1 - 1.44

= 1.66

The linear function is therefore:

y = 0.36x + 1.66
