From Tony's seat in the classroom, his eyes are 1.0 m above ground. On the wall 4.2 m away, he can see the top of a blackboard t

hat is 2.1 m above ground. What is the angle of elevation, to the nearest degree, to the top of the blackboard from Tony's eyes?
The answer is 27 degrees but i dont know how to get that. can someone show me the steps please. will give BRAINLIEST.

Answer:

15 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a horizontal segment approximately 4 inches long. Label the right endpoint A and the left endpoint C. Label the length of AC 4.2 meters. That is the horizontal distance between the eye and the blackboard.

At the right endpoint, A, draw a vertical segment going up, approximately 1 inch tall. Label the upper point E, for eye. Label segment EA 1 meter since the eye is 1 meter above ground.

At the left endpoint of the horizontal segment, point C, draw a vertical segment going up approximately 2 inches. Label the upper point B for blackboard. Connect points E and B. Draw one more segment. From point E, draw a horizontal segment to the left until it intersects the vertical segment BC. Label the point of intersection D.

The angle of elevation you want is angle BED.

The length of segment BC is 2.1 meters. The length of segment CD is 1 meter. That means that the length of segment BD is 1.1 meters.

To find the measure of angle BED, we can use the opposite leg and the adjacent leg and the inverse tangent function.

BD = 1.1 m

DE = 4.2 m

tan <BED = opp/adj

tan <BED = 1.1/4.2

m<BED = tan^-1 (1.1/4.2)

m<BED = 15

Answer: 15 degrees

Roberto wants to display his 18 sports cards in an album. Some pages hold 2 cards and others hold 3 cards. How many different wa
Ratling [72]
<span>65 = number of different arrangements of 2 and 3 card pages such that the total number of card slots equals 18. 416,154,290,872,320,000 = number of different ways of arranging 18 cards on the above 65 different arrangements of page sizes. ===== This is a rather badly worded question in that some assumptions aren't mentioned. The assumptions being: 1. The card's are not interchangeable. So number of possible permutations of the 18 cards is 18!. 2. That all of the pages must be filled. Since the least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, that means that 2 pages of 3 cards can only be interchanged with 3 pages of 2 cards. So with that said, we have the following configurations. 6x3 card pages. Only 1 possible configuration. 4x3 cards and 3x2 cards. These pages can be arranged in 7!/4!3! = 35 different ways. 2x3 cards and 6x2 cards. These pages can be arranged in 8!/2!6! = 28 ways 9x2 card pages. These can only be arranged in 1 way. So the total number of possible pages and the orders in which that they can be arranged is 1+35+28+1 = 65 possible combinations. Now for each of those 65 possible ways of placing 2 and 3 card pages such that the total number of card spaces is 18 has to be multiplied by the number of possible ways to arrange 18 cards which is 18! = 6402373705728000. So the total amount of arranging those cards is 6402373705728000 * 65 = 416,154,290,872,320,000</span>

If triangle XYZ is reflected across the line y = 1 to create triangle X'Y'Z', what is the ordered pair of X'? 
Vlad1618 [11]

Consider triangle XYZ with vertices at points X(1,-3), Y(3,0) and Z(-1,-1). If triangle XYZ is reflected across the line y = 1, then the rule of reflection is

(x,y)→(x,-y+2).

The image X' of point X will have coordinates according to the given rule:

X(1,-3)→X'(1, -(-3)+2)=X'(1,5).

Answer: correct choice is D.

Harper knows he is 50 yards from school. The map on his phone shows that the school is 34 inch from his current location. How fa
laila [671]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. We know that 1 yard is 36 inches, therefore, 50 yards expressed in inches is:

(50)(36)=1800in

2. If he is 50 yards from school and the map shows that the school is 34 inches from his current location, when it shows 3 inches the real distance is:

\frac{(1800in)(3in)}{34in}=158.82in

3. If you can to express it in yards:

\frac{158.82}{36} =4.41 yd

Therefore, the answer is: 158.82 inches or 4.41 yards.
