Answer:

The height of the statue is 21.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

A person is standing 50 ft from a statue

The person looks up at an angle of elevation of 16 degree when staring at the top of the statue

hen the person looks down at an angle of depression of 8 degree when staring at the base of the statue

Firstly, we will draw diagram

In triangle ABF:

FC=50

we can use trig formula

tan(16)=\frac{y}{50}

y=50tan(16)

y=14.33727ft

now, we can find x

In triangle DEF:

we can use trig formula

tan(8)=\frac{x}{50}

x=50tan(8)

x=7.0270ft

we can see that

height of statue =x+y

so, the height of statue is

=14.33727+7.0270

=21.4ft

Which absolute value function has a graph that is wider than the parent function, f(x) = |x|, and is translated to the right 2 u
Mariulka [41]
Case 1:  If we multiply f(x) = |x| by a fraction greater than zero and less than 1, the width of the resulting graph will increase.  If the vertex of the original function is moved 2 units to the right, then we'd replace |x| with |x-2|  Only the coefficient (3/4) satisfies the "wider graph" requirement here.

Next time you list answr possibilities, please type them in only one per line, or separate them with commons, semicolons or the like.

in a certain class, 22 pupils take one or more of chemistry, economic, government. 12 take economic (E), 8 take government (G) a
mash [69]

Answer:

ai) n(E⋂C) = ∅ = null

n(E⋂G) = 4

aii) see attachment

bi) n(C⋂G) = x = 1

bii) n(G) only = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let chemistry = C

Economic = E

Government = G

n(E) = 12

n(G) = 8

n(C) = 7

ai) number of pupils for economics and chemistry = 0

number of pupils for economics and government = 4

The set notation for both:

n(E⋂C) = ∅ = null

n(E⋂G) = 4

aii) find attached the Venn diagram

bi) n(C⋂G) = ?

Let number of n(C⋂G) = x

From the Venn diagram

n(C) only = 12-4 = 8

n(G) only = 8-(4+x) = 4-x

n(E) only = 7-x

n(E⋂C⋂G) = 0

n(E⋂C) = 0

n(E⋂G) = 4

Total: 8+ 4-x + 7-x + x + 0+0+4 = 22

23 -x = 22

23-22 = x

x = 1

n(C⋂G) = x = 1

Number of pupils that take both chemistry and government = 1

(bii) government only = n(G) only = 4-x

n(G) only = 4-1 = 3

Number of students that take government only = 3

Converting 4.9 kilograms would give you 11 of which US customary system unit? A. Pounds B. Stones C. Teaspoons D. Ounces Mark fo
Usimov [2.4K]

Kilograms is a type of measurement for weight, and so the converted measure should also be weight (which leaves only oz. and lbs.)

The converting ratio of kilograms to pounds is: 1 = 2.2

The converting ratio of kilograms to ounces is: 1 = 35.274

This means that pounds, or (B) is your closest answer


hope this helps

Which pairs of angles in the figure below are vertical angles?
ch4aika [34]

Answer: Option A and Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to know the definition of "Vertical Angles".

When two lines intersect or cross, there are a pair of angles that share the same vertex and they are opposite each other. This pair of angles are known as "Vertical angles".

By definition, Vertical angles are congruent, which means that the have the equal measure.

In this case, you can observe in the picture provided in the exercise that the line TI and the line WN intersect each other at the point S.

You can identify that the pair of angles that are opposite to each other and share the same vertex are the shown below:

\angle ISN  and \angle TSW

\angle TSN and \angle ISW
