The point-slope form:
- slope
- point
We have the point and the slope
Substitute:
Answer: The person next to you ate more popcorn.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 divided by 4 is 0.75, which is equivalent to 75%. 4 divided by 5 is 0.8, which is equivalent to 80%. Now that you've calculated the percentages of how much they ate, you can assume that 80 > 75 (80 is greater than 75).
We can write the system in the following form:
The above system is equivalent to the following equation:
Of course, the above system has solution for any values of b since there is one equation and four variable, there is infinite number of solution each time.
To get the height to the nick we use the trigonometry formula:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
θ=73°
opposite=h ft
adjacent=38 ft
plugging our values we get:
tan 73=h/38
thus
h=38 tan 73
h=124.29~124.3 ft
Answer: <span>C. 124.3 ft</span>
