the angle of elevation to the top of a very tall building is found to be 11° from the ground at a distance of 1 mi from the base of the building. using this information, find the height of the building. (round your answer to the nearest foot.)

Answers

Answer 1

The height of the building = 1026.328ft

Given the angle of elevation = 11°

The angle of elevation is the angle formed between the horizontal distance to the base of the building and the line of sight to the top of the building.

We know that tan x = opposite side/adjacent side.

Here the opposite side gives the height of the building and the adjacent side is the distance to the base of the building on the ground.

Distance to the base of the building on the ground = 1 mile = 5280 ft.

So tan 11° = h/5280

⇒ h= tan 11° x 5280 = 0.194 x 5280 = 1026.328 ft

So the height of the building = 1026.328 ft

The community college theater department sold three kinds of tickets to its latest play production. The adult tickets sold for $15, the student tickets for $10 and the child tickets for $8. The theater department was thrilled to have sold 250 tickets and brought in $2,825 in one night. The number of student tickets sold is twice the number of adult tickets sold. How many of each type did the department sell?

Answers

Using a system of equations, the amounts of each ticket sold are given as follows:

Adult: 75.Student: 150.Child: 25.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

For this problem, the variables are given as follows:

Variable x: number of adult tickets sold.Variable y: number of student tickets sold.Variable z: number of child tickets sold.

The theater sold 250 tickets, hence:

x + y + z = 250.

The theater brought in $2,825, hence, considering the value of each ticket:

15x + 10y + 8z = 2825.

The number of student tickets sold is twice the number of adult tickets sold, hence:

y = 2x.

Replacing in the first two equations:

3x + z = 250.35x + 8z = 2825.

Multiplying the first equation by -8 and adding with the second, we have that:

11x = 825

x = 825/11

x = 75.

Then:

y = 2x = 2(75) = 150.z = 250 - 3x = 250 - 3(75) = 25.

The amounts of each ticket sold are given as follows:

Adult: 75.Student: 150.Child: 25.

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-5 x - 10 = -(x + 4) + 2

-(x + 4) = -x - 4:

-5 x - 10 = (-x - 4) + 2

Grouping like terms, -x - 4 + 2 = -x + (2 - 4):

-5 x - 10 = (-x + (2 - 4))

2 - 4 = -2:

-5 x - 10 = -x + -2

Add x to both sides:

x - 5 x - 10 = (x - x) - 2

x - x = 0:

x - 5 x - 10 = -2

Grouping like terms, x - 5 x - 10 = (-5 x + x) - 10:

((-5 x + x) - 10) = -2

x - 5 x = -4 x:

-4 x - 10 = -2

Add 10 to both sides:

(10 - 10) - 4 x = 10 - 2

10 - 10 = 0:

-4 x = 10 - 2

10 - 2 = 8:

-4 x = 8

Divide both sides of -4 x = 8 by -4:

(-4 x)/(-4) = 8/(-4)

(-4)/(-4) = 1:

x = 8/(-4)

The gcd of 8 and -4 is 4, so 8/(-4) = (4×2)/(4 (-1)) = 4/4×2/(-1) = 2/(-1):

x = 2/(-1)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 2/(-1) by -1:

If JK = 3x, KL = 8, and JL = 5x, what is JK?

Answers

The value of JK is 12

How to determine the value

From the diagram shown, we can see that;

Line JL = 5xLine JK = 3xLine KL = 8

But line JL is the line with JK and KL as the line segments and K the midpoint between J and K

This can be represented as;

JK + KL = JL

substitute the values into the equation, we have;

3x + 8 = 5x

collect like terms

3x - 5x = -8

subtract like terms

-2x = -8

makes 'x' the subject of formula

x = -8/-2

x = 4

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 153. What is the value of the largest of the integers?
Help me pls

Answers

the value of largest integer when the sum of 3 consecutive odd integers is 153 is 53.

We know that odd consecutive numbers means the difference between the numbers will be 2

So, let the first odd number be x

Second number will be = x + 2

Third number will be = x + 2 + 2 = x + 4

Now, we are given that, the sum of these odd integers is 153

So, we get the equation as:

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 153

3 x + 6 = 153

3 x = 153 - 6

3 x = 147

x = 147 / 3

x = 49

Largest integer = x + 4 = 49 + 4 = 53

Therefore, we get that, the value of largest integer when the sum of 3 consecutive odd integers is 153 is 53.

what multiplication equation can you use to find 5 divided by 1/3

Answers

The multiplication equation to find 5 divided by 1/3 is 5 x 3 = 15.

What is division?

The division is one of the four basic mathematical operations, the other three being addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

At an elementary level the division of two natural numbers is, among other possible interpretations, the process of calculating the number of times one number is contained within another.

Unlike the other basic operations, when dividing natural numbers there is sometimes a remainder that will not go evenly into the dividend.

Division has two parts dividend and divisor.

Division is not commutative, meaning that a / b is not always equal to b / a.

Division is also not, in general, associative.

Division is traditionally considered as left-associative.

Division is right-distributive over addition and subtraction.

Division is shown in algebra and science by placing the dividend over the divisor with a horizontal line, also called a fraction bar, between them. For example, "a divided by b" can written as:

a/b

Now it is given that,

5 divided by 1/3

This can be expressed as,

5 divided by 1/3 = 5 ÷ 1/3

Since to convert the division of fraction into multiplication, we reciprocate the fraction

So, applying division we get,

5 ÷ 1/3 = 5 x 3

So, the multiplication equation is,

5 x 3

Now multiplying 5 and 3 we get,

5 x 3 = 15

this is the required multiplication equation of 5 divided by 1/3.

Thus, the multiplication equation to find 5 divided by 1/3 is 5 x 3 = 15.
