Answer: the height of the building is 40ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the right angle triangle formed,
With angle P as the reference angle, the length shadow of the building on ground represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
The height of the building represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
a) to determine the height of the building, x, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore, the equation becomes
Tan P = x/50
b) 0.8 = x/50
x = 50 × 0.8
x = 40 ft
Options :
y – 8 = –0.15(x – 10)
y + 8 = –0.15(x – 10)
y – 8 = –0.2(x + 10)
y + 8 = –0.2(x – 10)
Answer:
y – 8 = –0.2(x + 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
(-10, 8)
General equation in point - slope form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m = slope
Given the points : ( - 10, 8)
x1= - 10 ; y1 = 8
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Substitute the values of x and y into the equation :
y - 8 = m(x - - 10)
y - 8 = m(x + 10)
The best option which fits is :
y – 8 = –0.2(x + 10)

Answer:
3100ft
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 sides to the prism that have an area of 50ft * 10ft or 500ft. The total of those will be 500ft * 2 or 1000ft. There are 2 more sides to the prism that have an area of 30ft * 10ft or 300ft. The total would be 300ft * 2 or 600ft. Then the last two sides to the prism have an area of 50ft * 30ft or 1500ft. Since we're imagining this prism to be a house, you can't paint the floor (well, I guess you could but I think they want us to leave that part out because you can't pick the house up to paint the bottom that would be ridiculous). So the surface area is each area added, or 1000ft + 600ft + 1500ft = 3100ft.
