Answer:
height for the building = 551.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The info given describes the shape of a right triangle.
Thus:
Reference angle = Angle of elevation = 23°
Opposite side = height of the building = ?
Adjacent side = 1,300 ft
Apply trigonometric function, TOA:
Tan 23 = Opp/Adj
Tan 23 = Opp/1,300
1,300 × Tan 23 = Opp
551.817261 = Opp
Opp ≈ 551.8 ft
height for the building = 551.8 ft
6x - 10(x + 12) = -4x - 24
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
6x - 10x - 120 = -4x - 24
<em><u>Add 10x to both sides.</u></em>
6x - 120 = 6x - 24
<em><u>Cancel like terms.</u></em>
<em>Add 24 to both sides.</em>
-96 ≠ 0.
This equation is incorrect, as -96 will never be equal to 0.
well, the difference from 5600 to 4200 is 1400.
If we take 5600 to be the 100%, how much is 1400 off of it in percentage?
Proportions are very simple once you get the hang of them! What you do is cross multiple. :)
1. x/8=5/16
You first start by multiplying x and 16
Then multiply 5 and 8
So now you have 16x=40
Finally divide 16 from each side
You get: x+0.4!
2. 5/12=15/x
Remember to cross-multiply!
Now we have 5x=180
Next divide 5 from each side
You get: x=36!
<ADB = 90 degrees
