Answer:

height ≈ 31 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration below will form a right angle triangle. He is standing 17 ft away from the base of the statue.  The angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the statue  is 61°. The height of the statue can be computed below.

adjacent side of the triangle = 17 ft

opposite side = a

Using SOHCAHTOA principle

tan 61° = opposite/adjacent

tan 61° = a/17

cross multiply

a = 17 tan 61°

a = 17 × 1.80404775527

a = 30.6688118396

a ≈ 31 ft

gogolik [260]

Step-by-step explanation:

6+7m<6m or 3m-7<5+6m

6<7m+6m or 3m-6m<5+7

6<13m or -3m<13

m<13/6 or m<13/-3

m<2.16 or m<-4.333

m<2.2 or m<-4.34

I think the answer is 5 feet because 2(2+5)= 4+10=14. So the missing length is 5 feet.

What is the slope of the line through (-7,-8)(−7,−8)left parenthesis, minus, 7, comma, minus, 8, right parenthesis and (0,4)(0,4
ANEK [815]

Answer:

12/7

Step-by-step explanation:

When given two points, we can find the slope by using

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (4 - -8)/ (0 - -7)

    = (4+8) / (0+7)

   = 12/7

Rewrite the equation by completing the square 4x^2-4x+1=0
oee [108]

Answer:

4(x - \frac{1}{2} )² = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x² - 4x + 1 = 0

To complete the square the coefficient of the x² term must be 1

Factor out 4 from 4x² - 4x

= 4(x² - x) + 1 = 0

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - x

4(x² + 2(- \frac{1}{2} )x + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4} ) + 1 = 0

4(x - \frac{1}{2} )² - 1 + 1 = 0

4(x - \frac{1}{2} )² = 0
