An engineer stands 50 feet away from a building with a surveying device mounted on a tripod. if
the surveying device is 5 feet above the ground and the angle of elevation is 50°, find how tall is
the building.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The building is 64.6 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the height of the building, let the height from the top of the building to the top of the tripod be represented by x. So that;

Height of the building = x + 5

But,

Tan θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Tan [tex]50^{o}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{50}[/tex]

x = 50 x Tan [tex]50^{o}[/tex]

  = 50 x 1.1918

  = 59.59

x = 59.59

Height of the building = x + 5

                     = 59.59 + 5

                     = 64.6 ft

The height of the building is 64.6 feet.

Mr. Brady is using a coordinate plane to design a treasure hunt for his students. The hunt begins at the flagpole. The first clue is hidden 5 units north of the flagpole. The second clue is located 6 units east of the flagpole. Clue 2 says that Clue 3 is located 5 units south of the flagpole. N -4 -2 o N 4 6 X -2 -4 Plot the locations of the flagpole and the 3 clues on the coordinate grid and show the path students will follow with straight lines. Each unit represents 50 feet. What is the shortest combined distance along the path from the flagpole to Clue 1 to Clue 2 to Clue 3? Round to the nearest foot if necessary. ​

Answers

Answer:

The figure is attached and the total distance is 1031 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is indicated in the attached figure.

For calculation of distance consider following

Point Flagpole is (0,0)

Point Clue1 is (0,5)

Point Clue2 is (6,0)

Point Clue3 is (0,-5)

So the distance is calculated as follows

[tex]d_{T}=[d_{FP\ to\ Clue1}+d_{Clue1\ to\ Clue2}+d_{Clue2\ to\ Clue3}]*distance\ per\ unit\\d_{T}=[\sqrt{(Clue1_x-FP_x)^2+(Clue1_y-FP_y)^2}+\sqrt{(Clue2_x-Clue1_x)^2+(Clue2_y-Clue1_y)^2}+\sqrt{(Clue3_x-Clue2_x)^2+(Clue3_y-Clue2_y)^2}]**distance\ per\ unit\\[/tex]Substituting the values

[tex]d_{T}=[\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(5-0)^2}+\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(0-5)^2}+\sqrt{(0-6)^2+(-5-0)^2}]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[\sqrt{(0)^2+(5)^2}+\sqrt{(6)^2+(-5)^2}+\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-5)^2}]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[\sqrt{0+25}+\sqrt{36+25}+\sqrt{36+25}]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[\sqrt{25}+\sqrt{61}+\sqrt{61}]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[5+7.81+7.81]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[20.62]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=1031 \text{ feet}\\[/tex]

So the total distance travelled is 1031 feet.

C. The minimum value is 80 and the maximum value is 120

D. Only one of the data points in the data set has a value of 100

Answer:

B. Half the data values are greater than 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is just another way to say the number in the middle.  So if in the whole group of numbers 100 is in the middle, that means that half of the numbers will be bigger than 100, and half of the numbers will be smaller than 100.

Answer:

  y = -x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The line crosses the y-axis at y = -2, so that is the y-intercept.

The slope is the ratio of "rise" to "run." The points on the graph show a "rise" of -3 for a "run" of 3.

  m = rise/run = -3/3 = -1

Then the slope-intercept equation is ...

  y = mx +b . . . . . slope m, y-intercept b

  y = -x -2 . . . . . . . using m=-1, b=-2

Answer:

6:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: we need to match the b portions of each ration, use a lcm calculator, we see that the least common factor of 1 and 2 is 2

Step 2: For our a:b ratio of 3:1 we need to multiply each portion of the ration by 2 divided by 1 is 2

2 times 3:2 times 1 = 6: 2 our new a b ratio

Step 3: for our bc ratio of 2: 5 we need to multiply each portion of the ratio by 2 divided by 2 equals 1

1 times 2: 1 times 5 = 2:5 our new b:c ratio

since the b portions of each ratio match, we just take a: c = 6:5

In a walking competition, Marlinda was 15m ahead of Sandra Evliani. Marlinda steps 1m each time Sandra Elviani’s foot steps 0.8m. How many steps does Sandra Elviani have to make to match Marlinda?​

Answers

Answer:

Given that in a walking competition, Marlinda was 15m ahead of Sandra Evliani, and Marlinda steps 1m each time Sandra Elviani's foot steps 0.8m, to determine how many steps does Sandra Elviani have to make to match Marlinda, the following calculation must be performed:

Since Sandra Elviani walks 0.8 meters for every 1 meter that Marlinda walks, and that she has an advantage of 15 meters in the competition, it is impossible that at that rate Sandra can reach her. This is so because for each step of Marlinda, Sandra will be 0.2 meters behind her, increasing the distance (1-0.8).

Given the first three terms of Geometric Sequence: 2b+2, b+4, b, where each of the tem is
positive, find
1) the value of b. (8)
ii) the first term and common ratio. (18,2/3)
(2009)​

Answers

Answer:

1. b = 8

2. First term (T₁) = 18

Common ratio (r) = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Determination of the value of b.

2b+2, b+4, b

First term (T₁) = 2b + 2

2nd term (T₂) = b + 4

3rd term (T₃) = b

The value of b can be obtained as follow:

Common ratio = T₂/T₁ = T₃/T₂

T₂/T₁ = T₃/T₂

(b + 4)/(2b + 2) = b/(b + 4)

Cross multiply

(b + 4)(b + 4) = b(2b + 2)

Expand

b(b + 4) + 4(b + 4) = b(2b + 2)

b² + 4b + 4b + 16 = 2b² + 2b

b² + 8b + 16 = 2b² + 2b

Rearrange

2b² – b² + 2b – 8b – 16 = 0

b² – 6b – 16 = 0

Solving by factorisation

b² – 8b + 2b – 16 = 0

b(b – 8) + 2(b – 8) = 0

(b – 8)(b + 2) = 0

b – 8 = 0 or b + 2 = 0

b = 8 or b = –2

Since each of the terms are positive, therefore, b is 8.

2. Determination of the first term and common ratio.

2b+2, b+4, b

First term (T₁) = 2b + 2

b = 8

First term (T₁) = 2(8) + 2

First term (T₁) = 16 + 2

First term (T₁) = 18

2nd term (T₂) = b + 4

b = 8

2nd term (T₂) = 8 + 4

2nd term (T₂) = 12

Common ratio (r) = T₂/T₁

First term (T₁) = 18

2nd term (T₂) = 12

Common ratio (r) = 12/18

Common ratio (r) = 2/3

The height of the water in a tank decreases by 3.5 cm each day. When the tank is full, the water is 10 m deep. The water tank needs to be refilled when the water height drops below 4 m.



Write a question that could be answered by solving the equation 10−0.035d=4.

Answers

Answer:

After how many days will the tank need to be refilled?

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer our question, we first need to figure out what d represents. d is multiplied by 0.035, which is how much the water level decreases daily. Since it decreases daily, the overall amount it decreases depends on how many days have passed. It is logical then to deduce that d represents days (also days starts with d, so we know we're on the right track haha).

The equation equals to 4, the water level at which the tank must be refilled, so we know we are looking for d when the tank must be refilled.
