Answer:

1668 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the opposite side of the right triangle and we need the adjacent side, so we use the tangent function.

If the distance required is x  (adj side) we have:

tan 41 = opp/adj

tan 41 = 1450/x

x = 1450 / tan 41

= 1668.03

Write an equation of the line that passes through (5, −1) and is perpendicular to the line y=12x−1.
Lisa [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

solution

let,A(5,-1)

given

y=12x-1

or, y = 12 × x + (-1)

comparing it with y=mx+c

we get

x=1

y = c = -1

now

A(5,-1) and B(1,-1)

equation of line is,

(y-y1)/(x-x1) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

or, (y+1)/(x-5) = (-1+1)/(1-5)

or, (y+1)/(x-5) = 0/-4

cross multiply

-4y-4 = 0

or, 0=4y+4

or, 4y+4=0 is the required eqn

I think this is the process and answer too.

I hope this helps you

An orange triangular warning sign by the side of the road has an area of 266 square inches. The base of the sign is 9 inches lon
pashok25 [27]

Answer: the base is 28 inches. The altitude is 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h represent the altitude of the sign.

Let b represent the length if the base of the sign.

The warning sign is triangular in shape.

The formula for determining the area of a triangle is expressed as

Area = 1/2bh

The base of the sign is 9 inches longer than the altitude. This means that

b = h + 9

If the area of the sign is 266 square inches, it means that

266 = 1/2 × h(h + 9)

266 × 2 = h(h + 9)

532 = h² + 9h

h² + 9h - 532 = 0

h² + 28h - 19h - 532 = 0

h(h + 28) - 19(h + 28) = 0

h(h + 28) - 19(h + 28) = 0

(h + 28)(h - 19) = 0

h = 19 or h = - 28

Since the height cannot be negative, then h = 19

b = h + 9 = 10 + 9

b = 28

There were 317 marbles divided equally among 8 bowls. About how many marbles were in each bowl?
Sonja [21]
317/8
=39.625
It is impossible to divide 317 equally into 8 bowls
The fairest way to distribute the marbles would be to have 39 in three bowls and 40 in the five other bowls. 

Hope this helps!
