Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is already given in the question so we only need to solve for the y-intercept.
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
-3/5 = -0.6
1 = -0.6(1) + b
1 = -0.6 + b
1 + 0.6 = -0.6 + b + 0.6
1.6 = b
Now, write in slope-intercept form.
y = -3/5x - 1.6

Answer:
216 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
You'd multiply the amount of string for each balloon (12 feet) by the 54 balloons he needs, and you get 648 feet. There are 3 feet in a yard so then you would divide 648 by 3 and get 216 yards
Answer: The flagpole is about 22.3 feet tall.
This is roughly the size of a two story building, assuming each floor is 10 feet or so.
Since this height is under 25 ft, this flagpole is in compliance with the regulation.
=====================================================
Work Shown:
The horizontal leg of the triangle is 36 ft. This is the adjacent leg to the reference angle 25 degrees.
The vertical leg of the triangle is x-5.5, and this leg is the opposite side to the reference angle 25 degrees.
Use the tangent rule to connect the opposite and adjacent sides.
Solve for x.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(25) = (x-5.5)/36
36*tan(25) = x-5.5
x-5.5 = 36*tan(25)
x = 36*tan(25)+5.5
x = 22.28707569358
x = 22.3 ft is the approximate height of the flagpole
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
The height is not over 25 ft, so this flagpole meets the requirements.
Answer:
21 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the triangle ABC, with the right angle at B, the hypotenuse AC=25, and the given leg AB=10. The altitude to the hypotenuse can be BD. Since the "other leg" is BC, we believe the question is asking for the length of DC.
The right triangles formed by the altitude are all similar to the original. That means ...
AD/AB = AB/AC . . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is a constant
Multiplying by AB and substituting the given numbers, we get ...
AD = AB²/AC = 10²/25
AD = 4
Then the segment DC is ...
DC = AC -AD = 25 -4
DC = 21 . . . . . centimeters
