Consider right triangle with vertices B - base of the hill, S - top of the statue and Y - you. In this triangle angle B is right and angle Y is 13.2°. If h is a height of the statue, then the legs YB and BS have lengths 77 ft and 16+h ft.
You have lengths of two legs and measure of one acute angle, then you can use tangent to find h:
ft.
Answer: the height of the statue is 2.0565 ft.
Your answer is
- Slope = -1.000/2.000 = -0.500
- x-intercept = 7/1 = 7.00000
- y-intercept = 7/2 = 3.50000
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 71 and 5 to get a decimal since 71 does not end with 5 or 0. Do it to get 14 1/5 or 14.2
If you were to make both x's equivalent, you'd have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get rid of the coefficient, 1/2. However, you'd have to multiply 2 onto -8 as well, therefore the equation would turn into x - 16 = 18. That is not equivalent to x - 8 = 18.
