Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

base=42 m

height=h=?

base angle θ=60°

tan 60=h/42

h=42tan 60=42√3≈72.75 m

height of taller building=135+42√3 m≈135+72.75≈207.75 m≈208 m

Lena [83]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y = 13

 

$18 + $22 = $258

OR

18X+22Y=258

 

18X + 22(13 - X) = 258

 

18X + 286 - 22X  = 258

 

286 - 4X  = 258

 

-4X= 258 - 286

 

-4X = -28

 

X= 7

Y=6

 7 of the X tour  packages & 6 of the Y tour  packages

Which triangle drfined by the given points on the coordinate plane is similar to the triangle illustrated? ​
Harrizon [31]

Answer:D.) (-1, 1), (-1, 5), (-7, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:The length of the horizontal segment of the triangle graphed is 3.  The length of the vertical segment of the triangle graphed is 2.  Using the Pythagorean theorem, this makes the length of the missing side

2²+3²=c²

4+9 = c²

13=c²

√13 = c

This makes our side lengths 2, 3, and √13.

For choice A our vertices are (-1, 1), (-1, 4), (-6, 1).

This makes the length of the horizontal segment 5 and the length of the vertical segment 3.  This makes the missing side length

5²+3²=c²

25+9=c²

34=c²

√34 = c

This is not proportional to the triangle drawn, so it is not similar.

The vertices of the triangle in option B are (-1, 1), (-1, 5), and (-6, 1).  This makes the horizontal segment 5 units long and the vertical segment 4 units long.  This makes the missing side length

4²+5²=c²

16+25=c²

41=c²

√41=c

These are not proportional to the triangle drawn, so the triangles are not similar.

The vertices of the triangle in choice C are (-1, 1), (-1, 4) and (-7, 1).  This makes the length of the horizontal segment 6 and the length of the vertical segment 3.  This makes the missing side length

3²+6²=c²

9+36=c²

45=c²

√45=c

3√5=c

These sides are not proportional to the sides of the triangle drawn, so the triangles are not similar.

The vertices of the triangle in choice D are (-1, 1), (-1, 5) and (-7, 1).  This makes the length of the horizontal segment 6 and the length of the vertical segment 4.  This makes the missing side length

6²+4²=c²

36+16=c²

52=c²

√52=c²

2√13=c

These sides are all twice as long as the sides of the triangle drawn; this means the triangles are similar.

Please help me thanks
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

16.7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

a = 11

c = 20

11^2 + b^2 = 20^2

121 + b^2 = 400

b^2 = 279

b = sqrt(279) = 16.7

Factor each expression 30+10x-40y
Sergio039 [100]
Hello!

To factor you find the biggest number they can be divided by

The biggest number that all the number can be divided by is 10

You put that outside parenthesis

10()

Divide the expression by 10

3 + x - 4y

Put the two together

10(3 + x + 4y)

Hope this helps!

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line

shown in the graph is = 4

Hence, option 'd' is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the line equation, let us take two points

  • (0, 2)
  • (4, 1)

Finding the slope between two points

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:1\right)

m=\frac{1-2}{4-0}

m=-\frac{1}{4}

As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line, so

The slope of the perpendicular line will be:

-\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{4}}=4

Thus, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line

shown in the graph is = 4

Hence, option 'd' is true.
