The statue stands at a height of 21.4 feet. To explain in detail, we know that a person positioned 50 ft away from the statue looks up at an elevation angle of 16 degrees towards the top and looks down at an angle of depression of 8 degrees to see the base. To visualize, we can draw a diagram. For triangle ABF, we have that FC equals 50. We will employ trigonometric formulas to calculate x. In triangle DEF, similarly, we will apply trigonometric formulas and find that the statue's height equals x+y. Thus, the total height of the statue is found.

The missing value associated with x=-1 is y=6

Explanation:

The provided equation for the table is y=2-4x

This table consists of 2 columns and 5 rows.

A parallelogram has sides 24m and 5m. The height corresponding to a 24m base is 4m. What is the height corresponding to a 5m bas
Inessa [12570]
To resolve this issue, you simply multiply base 1 by height 1, which equals base 2 multiplied by height 2. Inserting our values yields 24 * 4 = 5 * height 2. By solving, we find the missing height to be 19.2.

The length, breadth ND height of box are 32 cm 16cm, 8cm.wht is the maxim length of the string that can be used to measure the s
babunello [11817]

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum potential length of the string corresponds to the greatest common divisor of 32, 16, and 8.

32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

16 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

8 = 2 * 2 * 2

The GCD = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8

The greatest length of the string = 8 cm

A rocket was launched into the air from a podium 6 feet off the ground. The rocket path is represented by the equation h(t)=-16t
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

The function provided is:

h(t)=-16t^2+120t+6

The average rate of change of h(t) as time goes from t=a to t=b is expressed as:

\frac{h(b)-h(a)}{b-a}

This function can be reformulated as: h(t)=-16(t-3.75)^2+231

The rocket's peak height is 231, which occurs at t=3.75 seconds.

\implies h(3.75)=231

The initial launch happens at: t=0

and h(0)=-16(0)^2+120(0)+6=6

The average rate of change from launch to max height is

\frac{h(3.75)-h(0)}{3.75-0}=\frac{231-6}{3.75-0} =60
