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

stira [4]

Answer:

Isosceles

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangle ABC, BD is the median and the altitude drawn to the side AC. This segment (BD) divide the triangle ABC into two triangles: ABD and CBD.

In these triangles:

  • AD=DC (because BD is the median);
  • ∠ADB=∠CDB=90° (because BD is the altitude);
  • BD is common side.

Thus, by SAS postulate, triangles ABD and CBD are conruent. Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides. Hence, AB=CB.

If in triangle ABC, AB=BC, then this triangle is isosceles.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

3 1/8 or 3.125.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would change 1 1/4 to 5/4. Then you would make a proportion of 5/4 or I like to use decimals, 1.25, over 8. Your proportion would look like: 1.25/8 = x/20. Then cross multiply 1.25 and 20 then divide your product by 8. Your final answer is 3.125 or 3 1/8. Hope this helps!

<span>1, During a 1-hr television program, there were 22 commercials, Some commercials were 15 sec and some were 30 sec long. Find the number of 15- sec commercials and the number of 30 sec commercial if the total playing time for commercial was 9.5 minutes.

</span>a) <span>show how to formulate your system of equations for your problem,

Answer:
- state the variables: x number of 15 sec commercials, y number of 30 sec commercials
- translate the word statement into algebraic language

b) state the two equations:

- translate the word statement into algebraic equations:

</span><span>* there were 22 commercials => x + y = 22
* the total playing time for commercial was 9.5 minutes => 15x + 30y = 9.5*60 </span><span>

Answer:
Equation (1) x + y = 22
Equation (2) 15x + 30y =  570

c) state which method you will use to solve either addition or substitution

Answer:
adition: multiply the first equation times - 15 and add the two equations.

d) solve your system showing and explaining each step of the process

Answer:
- muliply eq (1) times - 15

-15x - 15y = - 330

- add that to the eq (2):

-15x + 15x - 15y + 30y = -330 + 570

- add like terms: 15y = 240

- divide both members by 15: 15y/15 = 240 / 15 => y = 16

- replace y = 16 in eq I(1) => x + 16 = 22 => x = 22 - 16 = 6

Solution: x = 6, y = 16

e) Be sure to check your solution!

x + y = 22
6 + 16 = 22
22 = 22 --> check

15x + 30y = 9.5*60
15(6) + 30(16) = 570
90 + 480 = 570
570 = 570 ---> check

f) Once a solution is found explain what this solution means in the context of the problem, write the answer to the word problem in words</span><span>

The solution means that d</span><span>uring a 1-hr television program, there were</span><span> 6 commercials of 15 sec and 16 commercials of 30 sec.

2, How many quarts of water should be mixed with a 30% vinegar solution to obtain 12 qt of a 25% vinegar solution. (Hint: water is 0% vinegar).</span>

a) variables:

- state the variables
x: number of quarters of water
y: number of quarters of vinegar

- translate the words into mathematical language

12 qt 25% vinegar solution

=> total number of quarts = 12 = x + y

balance in vinegar:

vinegar from water + vinegar from 30% vinegar solution = vinegar in the 25% vinegar solution

0 + 0.3y = 0.25 (x + y)

c) Equations

Eq (1) x + y = 12

Eq (2): 0.3y = 0.25x + 0.25y

=> 0.25x - 0.05y = 0

d) solve

- multiply eq (1) times 0.05 and add to eq (2)

0.05x + 0.05y = 0.6
0.25x - 0.05y = 0
------------------------
0.30x = 0.6

x = 0.6 / 0.3 = 2

x + y = 12 => y = 12 - y = 12 - 2 = 10

Solution: x = 2, y = 10

e) check:

x + y = 12
2 qt + 10qt = 12 qt
12 qt = 12 qt ---> check

vinegar:

10*0.3 = 12*0.25
3 = 3 -> check

f) Explanation of the solution

The solution means that you have to mix 2 qts of water with 10 qts of 30% vinegar solution to obtain 12 qt of 25% vinegar solution.
