A surveyor wants to find the height of a hill. He determines that the angle of elevation to the top of the hill is 50°. He then

walks 40
feet farther from the base from the hill and determines that the angle of elevation to the top of the hill is now 30°. Find the height of
the hill (round to the nearest foot).

Answer:

The height of  the hill is 45 feet .

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure

Let AB be the height of hill

We are given that He determines that the angle of elevation to the top of the hill is 50°

So, \angle ACB= 50^{\circ}

Now  He then walks 40  feet farther from the base from the hill and determines that the angle of elevation to the top of the hill is now 30°

So, CD=40 feet

BD=BC+CD=BC+40

\ADB= 30^{\circ}

In ΔACB

Tan \theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\Tan 50^{\circ} =\frac{AB}{BC}\\1.1917 BC=AB ----1

In ΔADB

Tan \theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\Tan 30^{\circ} =\frac{AB}{BD}\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{AB}{BC+40}\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(BC+40)=AB----2

So,equate 1 and 2

1.1917 BC=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(BC+40)\\BC=37.59

Substitute the value in equation 1

1.1917 (37.59)=AB

44.796=AB

Hence the height of  the hill is 45 feet .

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the derivative of the residual function, then applying the normal equation:

[a; b] = (X'*X)^(X'*y)

with

X = [1 1; 2 1; 3 1; 4 1; 5 1]

X' is transpose of X

y = [11; 8; 4; 1; 0]

[a; b] =  [-2.9 13.5]
