A building 50 feet high casts a shadow 68 feet long. Find the measure of the angle of elevation of the sun. Round answer to nearest while degree

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

36 °

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case a rectangular triangle is formed so we can use the trigonometric functions to calculate the angle, they give us the value of the two legs, therefore we can apply the tangent function.

Tan A ° = opposite / adjacent

replacing:

Tan A ° = 50/68

Tan A ° = 0.735

A ° = arc tan (0.735)

A ° = 36.32

Which means that the angle of inclination is 36°

Answer:

a₁ = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

[tex]S_{n}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{a_{1}(r^{n}-1) }{r-1}[/tex]

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here [tex]S_{6}[/tex] = 189 and r = 2, thus

[tex]\frac{a_{1}(2^{6}-1) }{2-1}[/tex] = 189, that is

a₁( 64 - 1) = 189

63a₁ = 189 ( divide both sides by 63 )

a₁ = 3

find the slope of the line that passses thruogh 1,5 and 10,9

Answers

Answer:  The slope is 4/9  or -4/-9.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1,5)  

(10,9)   Find the difference in the y values and divide it by the difference in the x values.

5-9= -4

1- 10= -9

-4/-9= 4/9

so the slope is 4/9  

Using the slope we could also find the y-intercept and write the equation.

5=4/9 (1) + b    where b is the y-intercept

  5= 4/9 + b

-4/9   -4/9

b= 41/9  

Now we will have the equation  y= 4/9 + 41/9

A rectangular lot is 50 meters wide and 90 meters long. Give the length and the width of another rectangular lot that has the same perimeter but a larger area.

Answers

Answer:

Length = 80 metres and Width = 60 metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length = 90m

Width = 50m

Required

Dimension of another rectangle with the same perimeter but larger area;

Perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as thus;

[tex]Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)[/tex]

Substitute: Length = 90m and Width = 50m

[tex]Perimeter = 2(90m+ 50m)[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter = 2(140m)[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter = 280m[/tex]

Area of a rectangle is calculated as thus;

[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]

Substitute: Length = 90m and Width = 50m

[tex]Area = 90m * 50m[/tex]

[tex]Area = 4500m^2[/tex]

So, the implication of this question is to get a rectangle whose perimeter is 280m and area is greater that 4500m²

Using trial by error method;

Assume length of a rectangle is 80m;

This means the width must be 60m

Calculating the perimeter

[tex]Perimeter = 2(80m+ 60m)[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter = 2(140m)[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter = 280m[/tex]

Calculating the area

[tex]Area = 80m * 60m[/tex]

[tex]Area = 4800m^2[/tex]

Since, the area of this rectangle is greater than the area of the previous rectangle. we can adopt this dimension.

Length = 80 metres and Width = 60 metres.

Note: There are other dimensions that have higher area and exact perimeter as the given rectangle in the question;

The table of values represents the function g(x) and the graph shows the function f(x).
Which statement about the functions is true?
1. f(x) and g(x) are both absolute value functions.
2. f(−2) is greater than g(−2) .
3. f(x) and g(x) intersect at exactly two points.
4. f(x) is greater than g(x) for all values of x.

Answers

Answer:

2 and 3 are true

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Although f(x) is in fact an absolute value function and g(x) never goes below 0, g(x) is not an absolute value function because it does not grow linearly. This is known because, between even x intervals, the y value does not change the same amount.

2. f(-2)=2, and g(-2) is 1, meaning that this statement is in fact correct.

3. For this part, it would probably be a good idea to figure out the equation of both graphs. For g(x), starting at the line of symmetry at x=-3, y is 0, which means that the parabola has not been shifted up or down at all, and that its vertex is at (-3,0). Since it grows at the same rate as the parent function of a parabola, its graph is (x+3)^2. For f(x), you can see that it is an absolute value shifted left 3 and up 1, giving it an equation of |x+3|+1. Now, I've graphed both of them below, and you can see that they intersect at exactly two points, making this statement true.

4. Once again, the graph is helpful here. You can see that although f(x) starts off greater, g(x) with its exponential growth quickly overtakes it. Therefore, this statement is false.

Kareem has a pencil that is 13.5 centimeters
ong and a crayon that is 87.5 millimeters
ong. How many millimeters longer is
the pencil than the crayon?
(1 centimeter = 10 millimeters)

Answers

47.5 millimeters longer

The pencil is 47.5 millimeters longer than the crayon.

To find out how many millimeters longer the pencil is than the crayon, we need to convert the length of the pencil from centimeters to millimeters and then subtract the length of the crayon.

Given that length of the pencil = 13.5 centimeters

Length of the crayon = 87.5 millimeters

To convert centimeters to millimeters, we use the conversion factor: 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters.

So, the length of the pencil in millimeters is:

13.5 centimeters × 10 millimeters/centimeter = 135 millimeters

Now we can calculate the difference in length between the pencil and the crayon:

Length of the pencil - Length of the crayon = 135 millimeters - 87.5 millimeters

Subtracting the lengths, we find that the pencil is:

135 millimeters - 87.5 millimeters = 47.5 millimeters longer than the crayon.

Therefore, the pencil is 47.5 millimeters longer than the crayon.

Factor 4x2 - 16 using difference of two squares.

Answers

Answer:

4(x+2)(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2-16

4(x^2-4)

4(x+2)(x-2)

The difference of two squares formula is (a+b)(a-b), and it happens only when a^2 is minus b^2

So, 4x^2 − 16 = (2x + 4)(2x − 4).

Explanation:

4x2^ − 16 is of the form a^2 − b^2 (where a = 2x, b = 4), and as per the identity:

a^2 − b^2 = (a + b)(a − b)

So, 4x^2 − 16 = (2x + 4)(2x − 4)

The length of a rectangle is x. The length and width add up to 10 inches. What is the maximum area of the rectangle? Please provide steps on how solve!

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Area=25\,\,in^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rectangle is unknown and is defined with the letter "x". Notice that the width of the rectangle is also unknown, so we can name it 'y".

Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle (length times width), and notice that it is this quantity the one we need to maximize (find the maximum possible value).

We use the other information provided to represent the rectangle's with (y) in terms of "x" :

length + width = 10 inches

x + y = 10

Therefore,   y = 10 - x

Now we use this expression for "y" in the product for the area;

[tex]Area= x\,*\,y\\Area=x\,(10-x)\\Area=10x-x^2\\Area=-x^2+10x[/tex]

Notice that this quadratic expression corresponds to a parabola with branches pointing down (negative leading term), so its maximum value would be given at the vertex of the parabola.

Now recall that the formula for the x-value of a parabola's vertex when its function is of the form [tex]f(x)=ax^2+bx+c[/tex]

is given by:

[tex]x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

which in our case where "a" = -1 and "b" = +10, gives:

[tex]x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2a}\\x_{vertex}=\frac{-10}{2(-1)}\\x_{vertex}=\frac{-10}{-2}\\x_{vertex}=5[/tex]

Then the maximum value for the Area can be obtained by replacing "x" with "5" in the area formula:

[tex]Area=-x^2+10x\\Area=-(5)^2+10\,(5)\\Area=-25+50\\Area=25\,\,in^2[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is [tex]25\,\,in^2[/tex]

Add 5/8x to each side

1/4x +5/8x +2= -5/8x+5/8x - 5

1/4x+5/8x +2=  - 5

Vivian worked 19 hours more than Malik last month. If Vivian worked 7 hours for every 2 hours that Malik worked, how many hours did they each work? Note: these are proportion problems

Answers

Answer:

Malik 7.6

Vivian 26.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Vivian is working at the rate of 7hrs per 2 hours so basically 3.5hrs per hour Malik worked. In equation, it looks like:

V=3.5m where M is the number of hours Malik worked.

We know Vivian works 19 more hours than Malik and that in equation would be:

m+19 = V

So equate the two

3.5m = m+19

3.5m-m=19

2.55m=19

m=7.6

V=7.6+19 = 26.6
