See picture below for a geometric view.
Let x = height of building
We use basic trigonometry to find x.
The tangent function = opposite side of right triangle OVER adjacent side of right triangle.
tan(2°) = x/1
Solve for x.
After multiplying both sides by 1 (here 1 represents 1 mile), we get
tan(2°) = x.
We now use the calculator to find x.
In fact, you can take it from here. Use your calculator.
30 = 60% of x
x being our variable, we need to figure out what x equals. Use the formula I put in the attachment. Multiply 30 by 60, and then divide the product by 100. That will give you the answer :)
Answer:
The number you would add to both sides of the equation to use the "Completing the Square" method would be 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number to add to both sides of an equation to complete the square, divide the first-degree term's coefficient by 2 and square your remainder. In this case, the coefficient of the first-degree term is -8. After dividing by 2 and squaring it, you'll get 16, so that is the number you must add to both sides of the equation in order to complete the square.
I believe its 1048576/6561<span />
