I would say the answer is 35.
The problem says that <span>Brandon sights a helicopter above a building that is 200 feet away at an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. So, you can calculate the height asked, by following this procedure:
</span>
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
α=30°
Opposite leg=x
Adjacent leg=200 feet
When you substitute these values into the formula above (Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg), you have:
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
Tan(30°)=x/200
You must clear "x":
x=200xTan(30°)
Therefore, the value of "x" is:
x=115 feet
<span>
How high above the ground the is the helicopter?
The answer is: 115 feet</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. a² - ( b ² - 2bc + c² ) = a ² - b ² + 2bc - c²
2. 8p² - 18 q²
3. 3ab² - c²d + 3ab - b²c²
4. x² - 2x + 1
Answer is C.
For every option, sub in the value and find the answer that matches the equation!
Example for option A, F(x) = x + 4 and G(x) = x²
G(F(x)) = G(x + 4) ーー> sub in the value of F(x)
Let's take the subbed in value, (x + 4) as x, and this x will be the x for G(x).
∴ Since G(x) is x²
G(x + 4) = (x + 4)² ーー> remember (x + 4) is represented as x.
= x² + 16
∴ You know that the answer is not A, do this for all options and you'll find the answer, C!
42/48 in simplest form is 7/8
