While on vacation in Canada, you notice that temperatures are reported in degrees Celsius. You know there is a linear relationship between Fahrenheit and Celsius, but you forget the formula. you remember the freezing point of water is 0°C
or 32°F and its boiling point is 100°C or 212°F
a Write an equation that represents degrees Fahrenheit in terms of degrees Celsius. Let x represent the temperature in degrees Celsius and
let y represent the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

Since , the relation is linear .

Let equation is y = mx + c .

Putting , x = 0 and y = 32 .

32 = c  ( 1 )

Also , putting x = 100 and y = 212 .

We get :

212 = 100m + c ( 2 )

Comparing equation 1 and 2 .

100m = 212 - 32

x = 1.8

Therefore , y = 1.8x + 32 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
