Answer:

  80.38°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

The person is standing 40 ft from the building. The point they're looking at is 236 ft above their eyes. So the angle α is found from ...

  tan(α) = 236/40

  α = arctan(236/40) ≈ 80.38°

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Answer is d - x = \frac{y + z}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 'z' to both sides

4x -z (+z) = y + z

4x = y + z

Step 2: To solve for x, divide both sides by 4

\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{y + z}{4}

x = \frac{y + z}{4}

Solve this system of equations:<br><br> 5x + y = 7<br> 20x + 2 = y
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

x = 1/5, y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + y = 7

y = 7 - 5x

Set equations equal to each other to eliminate y

7 - 5x = 20x + 2

7 = 25x + 2

5 = 25x

x = 1/5

y = 7 - 5(1/5)

y = 7 - 1

y = 6
