Step-by-step explanation:

so, we have a large triangle made of the 2 cables as legs and the ground distance AB as baseline.

the tower is the height to the baseline of that large triangle.

let's call the top of the tower T.

and remember, the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

we know the angle A = 62°, and angle B = 72°.

assuming that AB is a truly horizontal line that means that the 2 legs (cables) have different lengths, the triangle is not isoceles, and the tower is not in the middle of the baseline.

so, the height (tower) splits the baseline into 2 parts. let's call them p and q.

p + q = 12 m

p = 12 - q

let's simply define that p is the part of the baseline on the A side, and q is the part of the baseline on the B side.

we have now 2 small right-angled triangles the large height (tower) splits the large triangle into.

one has the sides

AT, height (tower), p

angle A = 62°

angle T = 180 - 90 - 62 = 28°

the other has the sides

BT, height (tower), q

angle B = 72°

angle T = 180 - 90 - 72 = 18°

now remember the law of sine :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

with the sides and the associated angles being opposite.

p/sin(28) = height/sin(62)

q/sin(18) = height/sin(72)

we know from above that

p = 12 - q

so,

(12 - q)/sin(28) = height/sin(62)

height = (12 - q)×sin(62)/sin(28)

q/sin(18) = height/sin(72)

height = q×sin(72)/sin(18)

and therefore, as height = height we get

(12 - q)×sin(62)/sin(28) = q×sin(72)/sin(18)

(12 - q)×sin(62)×sin(18) = q×sin(72)×sin(28)

12×sin(62)×sin(18) - q×sin(62)×sin(18) =

= q×sin(72)×sin(28)

12×sin(62)×sin(18) = q×sin(72)×sin(28) + q×sin(62)×sin(18) =

= q×(sin(72)×sin(28) + sin(62)×sin(18))

q = 12×sin(62)×sin(18) / (sin(72)×sin(28) + sin(62)×sin(18))

q = 4.551603755... m

p = 12 - q = 7.448396245... m

height = q×sin(72)/sin(18) = 14.00839594... m ≈ 14 m

the cell tower is about 14 m tall.

Kazeer [188]

3,500,000 - 2,800,000 = 700,000

So the magazine needs 700,000 readers to meet their goal.

Hope that helps you. :-)

Elena surveyed her classmates to see how many like to make jewelry. When she asked 20 of her classmates, 50 percent said they li
nordsb [41]

10 students of Elena's classmates like to make jewellery.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let total no.of classmates who liked the jewellery = x

Here, in the given problem, given she asked her classmates '20'. So, it clearly shows that total number of students/classmates = 20. Also, in that, 50% said like to make jewellery. Now find 'x' as below,

                    x = 50 \% \text { of } 20

                    x = \frac{50}{100} \times 20

                    x = 10

Hence, the total number of classmates who liked to make Jewellery = 10

Hello there!

( (2^2*3^2x^2) -  25) \\ \\  Factoring:  \boxed{36x2-25} \\ \\ (PROOF): \\ \\  (A+B) * (A-B) = \\&#10;         A2 - AB + BA - B2 = \\&#10;         A2 - AB + AB - B2 =  \\&#10;         A2 - B2 \\ \\

Your final answer would be (<span> (6x + 5) • (6x - 5)).

Your correct answer would be (option d).
