Answer:

41.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent on the stick with shadow:

tan(θ) = \frac{1}{0.6}

Using the tangent on the building:

tan(θ) = \frac{h}{25}

⇒ h = 25 · tan(θ)

       = 25 · \frac{1}{0.6}

⇒ h = 41.66... ≈ 41.67

Can someone help me with a question!?!?
Len [333]

If the parent graph f(x) = x² is changed to f(x) = 2x², the vertex of the parabola will still remain (0, 0) because whenever the equation of a parabola is in the form y = ax², the vertex will always be (0, 0).

Now if <em>a</em> is a big number, the parabola will become narrower.

So it will stretch vertically and become narrower.

How do you find the value of x for this figure?
Studentka2010 [4]
The 2 lines intersect, and by definition it will create equal opposite angles.  Since we know that the angle created is 125 degrees, then the angle on the opposite side also must equal 125 degrees.  But wait, they broke up the angle into 2 angles made up of a 64 degree angle and an X degree angle.  These 2 angles must add up to 125 degrees.

x + 64 = 125
x = 125 - 64
x = 61 degrees

How many square inches in a foot
Cloud [144]

Answer:

There are 144 square inches in a square foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

A square foot is a square that is 1 foot by 1 foot. Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, and to get the area you need to multiple 2 adjacent sides together, you do 12 times 12 which is 144 square inches. Many people have the misconception that a square foot has 12 square inches, but this is wrong since a square foot has dimensions of 12 inches by 12 inches, but when you multiply them together, you can see that the answer is actually 144.
