Re read the question again just in case, try and put £25.50
But I got 25.5 too
Answer:
16 feet is the correct answer to this problem.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle is formed.
300 miles and 400 miles are the legs of the triangle.
We can apply Pythagorean theorem.
The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
We have the slope m = 9, therefore: y = 9x + b.
Next. We have the table:
x | -5 | -2 | 1 | 3 | 4 |
y |-46|-19| 8 |26|35|
(1, 8) → x = 1, y = 8
substitute the values of x and y to the equation:
8 = 9(1) + b
8 = 9 + b |-9
b = -1
Answer: y = 9x - 1 → y-intercept is -1.
325 meters if using full height of 324 meters for tower
277 meters if using observation platform height of 276 meters.
When the depression is 37 degrees, you can create a right triangle with the angles 90, 37, and 53 degrees. The distance from a point directly underneath the observer will be:
h/tan(37)
where
h = height of the observer.
And when the depression is 72 degrees, the distance will be:
h/tan(72)
So the distance between the two points will be the absolute value of:
h/tan(72) - h/tan(37)
=(tan(37)h)/tan(37)tan(72) - tan(72)h/(tan(37)tan(72))
=(tan(37)h - tan(72)h) /(tan(37)tan(72))
=h(0.75355405 - 3.077683537)/(0.75355405 * 3.077683537)
=h(0.75355405 - 3.077683537)/(0.75355405 * 3.077683537)
=h(-2.324129487/2.319200894)
=h*-1.002125125
And since we're looking for absolute value
=h*1.002125125
As for the value of "h" to use, that's unspecified in the problem. If you take h
to be the height of the Eiffel Tower, then it's 324 meters. If you take h to be
the highest observation platform on the Eiffel Tower, then it's 276 meters. In
any case, simply multiply h by the value calculated above:
=h*1.002125125
=324*1.002125125
= 324.6885406 m
=h*1.002125125
=276*1.002125125
=276.5865346
