A skyscraper is 396 meters tall. At a certain time of day, it casts a shadow that is 332 meters long. At what angle is the sun above the horizon at that time?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a right-angled triangle.

its legs (enclosing the 90° angle) are the height of the skyscraper (396 m) and the shadow (332 m).

so, we know the third side (the Hypotenuse, which is the line of sight between the end of the shadow and the top of the skyscraper) too by using Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

line² = 396² + 332² = 156816 + 110224 = 267040

line = sqrt(267040) = 516.7591315... m

and we know 1 angle : the 90° angle between the legs.

the other angles we can now get by using the law of the sines :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

where the angles are opposite of the lines.

the line of sight is opposite of the 90° angle.

and the height of the skyscraper is opposite of the angle between the line of sight and the shadow. this angle is also the angle of the sun above the horizon, as the extended line of sight would lead directly to the sun.

so, we have

516.7591315.../sin(90) = 396/sin(angle)

as sin(90) = 1

516.7591315... = 396/sin(angle)

sin(angle) = 396 / 516.7591315... = 0.76631447...

angle = 50.02407526...°

E) none of the above

Answers

A.) 120

The variance is the range of a data set, which shows how spread out numbers are. To get the variance, we take the last number and subtract it from the first number. 160-40=120. Therefore, there is 120 numbers between 40 to 160.

The range is the set of all input values and is the independent variable.


The domain is the dependent variable and is determined by the range.

Jeff bought 1.5 pounds of pork.

1 pound of pork = 3.64
0.5 pounds of pork = 1.82 (divided 3.64 by 2 to find 0.5 pounds of pork)

3.64 + 1.82 = 5.46

Jeff also bought 2.5 pounds each of beer and chicken.

1 pound of beef = 5.99
2 pounds of beef = 11.98
0.5 pounds of beef = 2.995 (5.99 divided by 2)

11.98 + 2.995 = 14.975

1 pound of chicken = 4.79
2 pounds of chicken = 9.58
0.5 pounds of chicken = 2.395

9.58 + 2.395 = 11.975

Add up the total amount of the 1.5 pounds of pork and 2.5 pounds each of beef and chicken.

5.46 + 14.975 + 11.975 = $32.41

Answer:

$32.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount of pork bought by Jeff = 1.5 pounds

Amount of beef bought by Jeff = 2.5 pounds

Amount of chicken bought by Jeff = 2.5 pounds

Cost of number of pounds of each type of meat bought by Jeff can be calculated by multiplying the number of pounds by the cost of each type per pound.

Cost of pork for 1.5 pounds = 1.5  3.64 = $5.46

Cost of beef for 2.5 pounds = 2.5  5.99 = $14.975

Cost of chicken for 2.5 pounds = 2.5  4.79 = $11.975

Total cost = Cost of pork + Cost of beef + Cost of chicken = 5.46 + 14.975 + 11.975 = $32.41

Please do full working and explain if possible (if you explain it would help me understand more but if you don’t it’s alright)

Answers

Answer:

The 2 numbers are 14 and 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y.

x + 11 = 2y

x - 2y = -11...............A

y +20 = 2x

2x - y = 20 ...............B

Multiply equation A by -2:

-2x + 4y = 22............C

Adding B and C :-

3y = 42

y = 14.

Substitute y = 14 in equation A:

x - 2(14) = -11

x = -11 + 28

x = 17.

How do you write an equation of a line given y-intercept -8 and slope 3/4

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = \frac{3}{4} x-8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can us the equation y = m x + c to answer this question.

In ,

y = m x + c

m = slope

c = y - intercept

So, they have already given in the question that,

m = 3/4

c = (-8)

Therefore, you can simply put 3/4 and (-8) instead of m and c respectively like this.

y = m x + c

y = 3/4x - 8

Hope this helps you.

What are the possible numbers of positive, negative, and complex zeros of f(x) = −3x4 + 5x3 − x2 + 8x + 4? (1 point)

Answers

Answer:

Using Descartes' Rule of Signs, we observe whether each consecutive term has a + or - sign:

f(x) = 3x4 − 5x3 − x2 − 8x + 4

Signs are: + - - - +

There are 2 sign changes (from +3 to -5, then from -8 to +4). This means that there are either 2 or 0 positive roots. (We take the number of sign changes, which is 2, and subtract by 2s to get all possible numbers of positive roots.)

For negative roots, we first invert all the odd-powered terms in f(x):

3x4 + 5x3 − x2 + 8x + 4

Signs are: + + - + +

There are 2 sign changes, from +5 to -1, and from -1 to +8. Therefore, there are either 2 or 0 negative roots.

Since the overall degree of f(x) is 4, the total number of roots must sum up to 4. There are either 2 or 0 positive roots, and 2 or 0 negative roots, and everything that remains will be a complex root. The possibilities are:

2 positive, 2 negative, 0 complex

2 positive, 0 negative, 2 complex

0 positive, 2 negative, 2 complex

0 positive, 0 negative, 4 complex.

Therefore we can have either 0, 2, or 4 complex roots.

The correct answer is the last choice.

A tortoise moves at a speed of 22 inches in 7 seconds. What is its average speed in feet per hour?

Answers

The average speed in feet per hour will be;

⇒ 942.85 feet per hour

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that;

Distance = 22 inches

Time = 7 seconds

Now,

Since, A tortoise moves at a speed of 22 inches in 7 seconds.

Hence, Distance = 22/12 feet

And, Time = 7 / 3600

Thus, The average speed = (22/12) / (7/3600)

                                        = 22 × 3600 / 12 × 7

                                        = 942.85 feet per hour

Therefore, The average speed in feet per hour will be;

⇒ 942.85 feet per hour

Answers

45% of 95 is 42.75. So since they are 45% off subtract. Making the new pre tax cost of the shoes $52.25. 8% of 52.25 for the tax is $4.18. So for the total cost add 4.18+52.25. The total cost paid for the shoes should be $56.43

Answer:

= 0.866

Step-by-step explanation:

By moving the decimal point two places to the right, you can convert the divisor 6.42 to a whole number. Then, in the dividend, move the decimal point two places to the right.

Then we have the equation: 556 ÷ 642 = 0.866

and therefore: 5.56 ÷ 6.42 = 0.866

both calculated to three decimal places.
