a math student is standing 40 feet from the base of a water tower. the angle of elevation from her horizontal line of sight is 72 degrees. If her "eye height" is 5 feet, how tall is the water tower? Round to the nearest foot.​

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  128 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the tower above eye-height is related to the angle by ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(72°) = (tower height above eye height)/(40 ft)

  tower height above eye height = (40 ft)×tan(72°) = 123 ft

Since eye height is 5 ft, the total height of the tower from the ground is ...

  tower height = eye height + height above eye height

  tower height = 5 ft + 123 ft

  tower height = 128 ft

Answer:

We conclude that the statement 'To host a wedding with 104 people, 13 tables will be needed'.

Hence, option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when 'y' varies directly with 'x', we get the equation

y ∝ x

y = kx

where 'k' is termed as the 'constant of variation'.

Given that a wedding reception seats 8 people at each table.

Given that the relationship between the number of people 'p' and the number of tables 't'.

p = 8t

CHECKING OPTION A

substitute t = 22 in the given equation

p = 8 × 22 = 176 people

It means to host 176 people, 22 tables will be needed.

Hence, OPTION A is INCORRECT!

CHECKING OPTION B

substitute t = 8 in the given equation

p = 8 × 8 = 64 people

It means to host 64 people, 8 tables will be needed.

Hence, OPTION B is INCORRECT!

CHECKING OPTION C

substitute t = 13 in the given equation

p = 8 × 13 = 104 people

It means to host 104 people, 13 tables will be needed.

Hence, OPTION C is CORRECT!

CHECKING OPTION D

substitute t = 6 in the given equation

p = 8 × 6 = 48 people

It means to host 48 people, 6 tables will be needed.

Hence, OPTION C is INCORRECT!

Thus, we conclude that the statement 'To host a wedding with 104 people, 13 tables will be needed'.

Hence, option C is correct.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions are,

f(x) = 2x - 3

g(x) = x³ - 2

h(x) = x² - 3x + 5

(10). f(4) = 2(4) - 3

           = 5

    g(-2) = (-2)³ - 2

             = -8 - 2

             = -10

    f(4) + g(-2) = 5 -10 = -5

(11). g(3) = 3³ - 2 = 25

     h(1) = 1² - 3(1) + 5

            = 1 - 3 + 5

            = 3

      g(3) - h(1) = 25 - 3 = 22

(12). f(2) = 2(2) - 2 = 2

      h(-3) = (-3)² - 3(-3) + 5

              = -27 + 9 + 5

              = -13

       f(2).h(-3) = 2(-13) = -26

  5(1/(1 -r)) = 5/(1 -3/4) = 5/(1/4) = 20 . . . series sum

Liz flips a coin 50 times. The coin lands heads up 24 times and tails 26 times. Based on Liz’s results, what is the experimental probability of the coin landing on heads?

Answers

Answer:

48%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets start with what we know.

Coin was flipped 50 times. Landed Heads 24 times, and landed tails 26 times.

Now, we want this in a percentage. So:

24 = x

50 = 100

We know that 50 is 100/2. So, we can multiply both of the numbers to get a percentage.

24 × 2 = 48

26 × 2 = 52

In conclusion, the experimental probability for the coin landing on heads is:

48/100  OR  48%

Answers

Answer:

x = 18°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of interior angles of any polygon is given by:

180(n -2) , where n is the number of sides of that polygon.

So for this pentagon;

The sum of its interior angles = 540°

90 + (9x -6) + (3x + 23) + 95 + (7x - 4) = 540

19x + 198 = 540

19x = 540 - 198 = 342

x = 342 ÷ 19 = 18°

Answers

Answer:

y-intercept: (3,0) C) x-intercept: (–15,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression x - 5y = -15

x intercept occurs at y = 0

Substituting y = 0 into the expression

x - 5(0) = -15

x - 0 = -15

x = -15

Hence the x-intercept occurs at (-15, 0)

y intercept occurs at x = 0

Substituting x = 0 into the expression

0 - 5y = -15

-5y = -15

y = -15/-5

y = 3

Hence the y-intercept is at (0, 3)
