the main sailboat has the dimensions shown in figure at the right . what is the height of the main sail? Then round to the nearest tenth as needed .)

h = 14.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply trigonometric ratio formula to find h:

reference angle = 46°

Opposite side = h

Adjacent side = 14 ft

Thus:

Tan 46 = h/14

Multiply both sides by 14

14*tan 46 = h

h = 14.4974243

h = 14.5 (nearest tenth)

answer: 7. if the functions had a negative leading coefficient and is of even degree, which statement about the graph is true?

step-by-step explanation:

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points
