A building in a downtown business area casts a shadow that measures 88 meters along the ground. The straight-line distance from

the top of the building to the end of the shadow it creates is at a 32° angle with the ground. What is the approximate height of the building? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

A shadow measures 88 m: d = 88 m.
The angle : α = 32°
We will use trigonometry:
h / d = tan α
h / 88 m = tan 32°
h / 88 m = 0.62489
h = 88 m * 0.62489
h = 54.9885 m ≈ 55 m
Answer: The approximate height of a building is 55 meters.

aksik [14]

Correct Answer: First Option

Explanation:

There are two ways to find the actual roots:

a) Either solve the given quadratic equation to find the actual roots

b) Or substitute the value of Possible Rational Roots one by one to find out which satisfies the given equation.

Method a is more convenient and less time consuming, so I'll be solving the given equation by factorization to find its actual roots. To find the actual roots set the given equation equal to zero and solve for x as given below:

2x^{2} +2x-24=0\\ \\ 2(x^{2} +x-12)=0\\ \\ x^{2} +x-12=0\\ \\ x^{2} +4x-3x-12=0\\ \\ x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0\\ \\ (x-3)(x+4)=0\\ \\ x-3=0, x=3\\ \\ or\\\\x+4=0, x=-4

This means the actual roots of the given equation are 3 and -4. So first option gives the correct answer.

The equation y = 1.55x + 110,419 approximates the total cost, in dollars, of raising a child in the united states from birth to
Andru [333]

Answer:

The correct option is A). $112295.05

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for approximating the total cost is given to be :

y = 1.55x + 110419 , where x is the annual household's income and y is the total cost in dollars of raising a child in the united states from birth to 17 years

We need to calculate the total cost of raising a child in the united states from birth to 17 years if the annual household's income is given to be $1211

So, for this we will use the given equation and substitute x = 1211 and find the value of y which will be our total cost

⇒ Total cost , y = 1.55 × 1211 + 110419

⇒ y = 1877.05 + 110419

⇒ y = 112296.05 ≈ 112295.05

Hence, The approximate total cost of raising a child from birth to 17 years in a household with a weekly income of $1211 = $112295.05

Therefore, The correct option is A). $112295.05

Compare partial products and regrouping how the methods are alike and different
shtirl [24]
<span>Partial products are different in regrouping in terms of how numbers are clustered from a set equation as a whole delivering it individual but naturally to all the numbers involved in the set. </span>
Regrouping is just like the commutative or associative property of numbers.
<span>Associative property of addition is used when you want to group addends. This is mainly used to cluster set of numbers or in this case, addends. How do you use the associative property when you break apart addends? Simple you group them using the open and closed parentheses or brackets. Take for an example 1 + 1 + 2 = 4. Using the associative property you can have either (1 + 1) + 2 = 4 or 1 + (1 + 2) = 4 clustered into place.
