Answer:
The angle of depression from Platform A to Platform B is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer the attached figure
The horizontal distance between the platforms is 500 feet i.e. BC = 500
The length of the zip-line is 685 feet i.e. AB = 685
We are supposed to find the angle of depression from Platform A to Platform B
Hypotenuse = 685
Base = 500

Hence the angle of depression from Platform A to Platform B is 
Okay I think there has been a transcription issue here because it appears to me there are two answers. However I can spot where some brackets might be missing, bear with me on that.
A direct variation, a phrase I haven't heard before, sounds a lot like a direct proportion, something I am familiar with. A direct proportion satisfies two criteria:
The gradient of the function is constant s the independent variable (x) varies
The graph passes through the origin. That is to say when x = 0, y = 0.
Looking at these graphs, two can immediately be ruled out. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations.
This leaves B and C. The graph of 1/x does not have a constant gradient, so any stretch of this graph (to y = k/x for some constant k) will similarly not be direct variation. Indeed there is a special name for this function, inverse proportion/variation. It appears both B and C are inverse proportion, however if I interpret B as y = (2/5)x instead, it is actually linear.
This leaves C as the odd one out.
I hope this helps you :)
Answer:
It is given that the volume of a cone =
cubic units
Volume of cone with radius 'r' and height 'h' = 
Equating the given volumes, we get

× 

It is given that the height is 'x' units.
Therefore, 

Therefore, 
So, the expression '
' represents the radius of the cone's base in units.

A right triangle is a shape that looks like half of a square. The height of the triangle is 12, and the base of the triangle is 9. To find the area, use the following formula:
A =
