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

Explain when it is appropriate to use a benchmark percent in solving a problem.

Answers

Answer:

The most common benchmark percents are 0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.

These benchmark values are sometimes used when estimating a solution involving percentages.

Real-World Example

If an item costs $36.00 and there is a 7% sales tax, the benchmark of 10% can be used to mentally estimate the sales tax of the item.

10% of 36, done mentally, is 3.6.

Since 7% is a bit less than 10%, the sales tax will be a bit less than $3.60.Step-by-step explanation:

In the system of equations, b is a constant. If the system has infinitely many solutions, what is the value of b?

Answers

Answer:

The value of b is 9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If a system of equations has infinitely  many solutions, that means the two equations are equal

If the system of equations ax + by = c, dx + ey = f, then

a = d ⇒ coefficients of xb = e ⇒ coefficients of yc = f ⇒ numerical terms

Let us use this fact to solve the question

3x - y = 19 ⇒ (1)

1.5x - 0.5 y = b ⇒ (2)

∵ This system of equations has infinitely many solutions

∴ The coefficients of x must be equal

∴ The coefficients of y must be equal

∴ The numerical terms must be equal

→ Multiply equation (2) by 2 to make the coefficients of x and y on it

  equal the coefficients of x and y in equation (1)

∵ 2(1.5x) - 2(0.5y) = 2(b)

3x - y = 2b ⇒ (3)

→ By comparing equations (1) and (3), 19 must equal 2b

∵ 2b = 19

→ Divide both sides by 2

b = 9.5

The value of b is 9.5

The scatterplots (B), (C), and (E) have no correlation. which is the correct answer would be options (B), (C), and (E)

What is the Scatter plot?

The variables in the scatter plot made from the data are described by the independent variable, time, which is graphed along the horizontal axis.

When analyzing data with more than two variables, a scatter plot is used, which has a separate vertical axis for each variable.

According to the given option,

The second has no slope, therefore there is no correlation.

The third has a zero average slope with no upward or descending trend; no correlation.

The fifth has a general increasing tendency and will have a non-zero correlation.

Thus, the scatterplots (B), (C), and (E) have no correlation.

Hence, the correct answer would be options (B), (C), and (E),

Have you ever wondered why runners start at different spots on a track instead of lining up together? This is called a staggered start. Since tracks have semicircles (or half circles) on the ends, if all the runners lined up together, runners in outer lanes would need to run farther than runners in inner lanes. Why? Because the circumference of the outer lane is greater than the circumference of the inner lane. Staggering starting positions ensures that all runners run the same distance! Where do you see circles and semicircles in the world around you? Why could finding the area or circumference be helpful?

Ellen needs to make b batches of blueberry scones this weekend for her family's brunch party. She needs 2 cartons of blueberries for each batch, and each carton costs $4. Pick all the expressions that represent how much Ellen will spend on blueberries.

Answers

Answer:

$4(2b) on blueberries

Where b = number of batches of Blueberry scones she wants to make

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:.

Ellen needs to make b batches of blueberry scones this weekend for her family's brunch party.

Since she needs 2 cartons of blueberries for each batch, and each carton costs $4

1 batch = 2 cartons of blueberries

b batches =

Cross Multiply

b × 2 cartons

= 2b cartons of blueberries.

We also know that:

1 carton blueberries = $4

2b cartons of blueberries = x

Cross Multiply

x = 2b × $4

Therefore, Ellen will spend :

$4(2b) on blueberries

For A, I first subtracted -4 from -7 as their variables are the same. I cannot subtract integers from variables. Then, I added 4 on both sides to move the integer on the left side. (This would also remove the -4 on the right side because -4+4=0) Then I divided -11 by both sides to get 1a or a.

For B, I  subtracted -4 from 1 as their variables are the same. This time, since they are both negative numbers, I can make them both positive. So, just divide 3 by both sides as we want to get 1m.

For C, Add 3 to 8 as v is their variable. Then, I added 3 to both sides because we want to get the variable on one side. Divide by 11 and you will get v=1.
