2. The angle of elevation of the top of a vertical
cliff, as seen from a boat 120 m away, is 32°.
The angle of elevation of the top of a flagpole
at the edge of the cliff, as seen from the boat,
is 37º. Find the height of the flagpole.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 15.44 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think this as two triangle rectangles.

In both cases, the adjacent cathetus is 120m.

When the angle is 32°, the opposite cathetus will be the height of the cliff.

When the angle is 37°, the opposite cathetus will be the heigth of the cliff plus the height of the flagpole.

Then we need to compute both of them and calculate the difference.

We can use the trigonometric relation:

Tan(θ) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

in this case we have:

Tan(32°) = (height of the cliff)/(120m)

Tan(32°)*120m = height of the cliff = 74.98m

Now we can use the other angle to compute:

Tan(37°) = (heigth of the cliff + heigth of the flagpole)/120m

Tan(37°)*120m = heigth of the cliff + heigth of the flagpole = 90.42m

Then the height of the flagpole will be:

H = 90.42m - 74.98m = 15.44 m

What is Abigail’s greatest possible age?
Give your answer as a whole number of years.

Answers

Answer:i i think Brenda 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Age problems are the algebra word problem which deals with the ages of people in the present time.

Given information-

Abigail is 5 years older than Brenda.

Brenda is twice as old as Carly.

The total of their ages is less than 40.

Age problems

Age problems are the algebra word problem which deals with the ages of people in the present time.

Suppose Abigail is A, Brenda is B and Carly is C years old.

As Abigail is 5 years older than Brenda. Thus,

[tex] A=B+5[/tex]                .... 1

As Brenda is twice as old as Carly. Thus,

[tex]C=\dfrac{B}{2} [/tex]                    ..... 2

As the total of their ages is less than 40.

[tex]A+B+C=40[/tex]

Keep the values of A and C from the equation 1 and 2 in the above equation,

[tex]\begin{aligned}\\ B+5+B+\dfrac{B}{2} &=40\\ 2B+\dfrac{B}{2} &=35\\ \dfrac{4B+B}{2}&=35\\ B&=\dfrac{35}{5} \times2\\ B&=14\\ \end[/tex]

Thus the Brenda is 14 year old. As the Abigail is 5 years older than Brenda. Thus the age of the Abigail is,

[tex]A=14+5\\ A=19[/tex]

Thus the Abigail is 19 year old.

1 A high school talent show lasted a total of t minutes. There were 2 intermissions that were each the length of 8 the talent show. Which function can be used to find the number of minutes the talent show lasted, not including intermissions?​

Answers

Answer:

I think f(t)=1/4t

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of you multiply 1/8 times 2, it gives you 1/4. Not 100% sure tho

If total time is t and There were 2 intermissions each the length of 1/ 8  of the talent show then function to find the number of minutes the talent show lasted, not including intermissions  is f(t)= 3t/4 minutes .

What is a function ?

function is a relation from a  set  to another  set provided that each element of first set is related to a unique element of another set .

Here given that total time is t  minutes

And time of intermission is t/8 minutes

And there are total 2 intermissions

Hence function to find the number of minutes the talent show lasted, not including intermissions can be defined as

f(t)= total time - 2(time of intermission)

[tex]f(t) = t- 2\times \frac{t}{8}\\\\f(t)=t-\fract1}{4}\\\\f(t)=\frac{3t}{4}[/tex]

If total time is t and There were 2 intermissions each the length of 1/ 8  of the talent show then function to find the number of minutes the talent show lasted, not including intermissions  is f(t)= 3t/4 minutes .

If I buy a sweatshirt for $30, and the sales tax is 7% in my state, how much will I pay for the sweatshirt, including the sales tax?

Answers

Answer:

$32.10

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have sales tax, you would first convert the percentage to decimal, or 0.07. Then you would take this number, and add it to one before you multiply it by the price of the sweatshirt. This makes sure that you're not just calculating the sales tax, but the overall price of the shirt. So if you multiply:

30 x 1.07 = 32.1

Add the units, and you get $32.10

-2(y-1) = 9

y*(-2) - 1*(-2) = 9

-2y + 2  = 9  {Subtract 2 from each side}

During an airplanes ascent, the plane reaches a horizontal distance from the airport of 1 km and then 7 km. The plane ascends at a slope of 2/3. Find the vertical distance (y) in feet that the plane traveled during the indicated spots

Answers

Answer:

The vertical distance in feet that the plane traveled was 4 Km

Step-by-step explanation:

The Slope of a Line

Suppose we know a line passes across points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

The airplane ascent will be modeled with the equation of a line because we are given a constant slope of m=2/3. We also know the horizontal distances are x1=1 Km and x2=7 Km. Substituting in the formula above:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{7-1}[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{6}[/tex]

Solving for y2-y1, we get the vertical distance traveled by the plane:

[tex]\displaystyle y_2-y_1=6*\frac{2}{3}=4[/tex]

Thus, the vertical distance in feet that the plane traveled was 4 Km
