From the top of a tower, the angle of depression to a flower on the ground

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ronch [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

25.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right triangle with the right angle at the foot of the tower. The interior angle of the triangle at the top is the complement of the angle of depression. 90 - 74 = 16; it measures 16°. The leg at the bottom has length x. The height of the tower is the vertical leg and is 90 ft. We are looking for x.

For the 16° angle, x is the opposite leg, and 90 ft is the adjacent leg.

tan A = opp/adj

tan 16° = x/(90 ft)

x = 90 ft * tan 16°

x = 25.8 ft

Answer: 25.8 ft

PLEASE HELP 20 POINTS<br> solve the system of equations y=-5x-7 and -4x-3y=-1 by substitution.
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Solution: x = -2; y = 3 or (-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation 1:</u>  y = -5x - 7  

<u>Equation 2:</u> -4x - 3y = -1

Substitute the value of y in Equation 1 into the Equation 2:

-4x - 3(-5x - 7)  = -1

-4x +15x + 21 = -1

Combine like terms:

11x + 21 =  - 1

Subtract 21 from both sides:

11x + 21 - 21 =  - 1 - 21

11x = -22

Divide both sides by 11 to solve for x:

11x/11 = -22/11

x = -2

Now that we have the value for x, substitute x = 2 into Equation 2 to solve for y:

-4x - 3y = -1

-4(-2) - 3y = -1

8 - 3y = -1

Subtract 8 from both sides:

8 - 8 - 3y = -1 - 8

-3y = -9

Divide both sides by -3 to solve for y:

-3y/-3 = -9/-3

y = 3

Therefore, the solution to the given systems of linear equations is:

x = -2; y = 3 or (-2, 3)
