Answer:

1588.78 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Right triangle  

tangent (angle)  = opposite side / adjacent side

                                       =  height / distance     ( for this problem)

                           tangent 5°  =  139/distance

                                distance = 139 / tangent 5° = 1588.78 ft

Jeremiah makes a recipe that calls for 1 1/2 cups of flour and 3/4 stick of butter. If Jeremiah uses 3 sticks of butter, how man
scoray [572]

Answer:

6 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the ratio of the recipe=(1 1/2)/(3/4)

1 1/2=1.5 cups of flour

3/4 stick of butter-------> 0.75 stick of butter

by proportion

1.5/0.75=x/3---------> 3*1.5=0.75*x

x=3*1.5/0.75----------> x=6 cups of flour

1) a) Factorize: G(x) = (x+5)2 – 3x(x+5).
Arada [10]

Answer:

In bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.  (x+5)^2 – 3x(x+5)     x+5 is common

= (x + 5)(x + 5 - 3x)

= (x + 5)(5 - 2x)

b.  (x + 5)(5 - 2x) = 0

x = -5, 2.5.

2a.   Area of the square = (x + 5)^2

Area of triangle AEB

= 1/2 * base * height  

I am assuming that  H is the centre of AB , so

Area = x*x

= x^2.

2b

6x^2 = (x + 5)^2

6x^2 = x^2 + 10x + 25

5x^2 - 10x - 25 = 0

x^2 - 2x - 5 = 0

x = [-(-2) +/- sqrt(2^2 - 4*1*-5)] / 2

x = -1.45, 3.45.

 (we ignore the negative).

A boy purchased​ (bought) a​ party-length sandwich 56 in. long. He wants to cut it into three pieces so that the middle piece is
erik [133]

The shortest piece is 14 inches, middle piece is 19 inches and longest piece is 23 inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the shortest piece.

Therefore,

Middle piece = x+5

As shortest piece is 9 in shorter than longer piece;

Shortest piece = longest piece - 9

x = longest piece - 9

longest piece = x+9

Length of sandwich = 56 in

According to given statement;

Shortest piece + middle piece + longest piece = 56

x+(x+5)+(x+9)=56\\x+x+5+x+9=56\\3x+14=56\\3x=56-14\\3x=42

Dividing both sides by 3;

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{42}{3}\\x=14

Shortest piece = 14 in

Middle piece = 14+5 = 19 in

Longest piece = 14+9 = 23 in

The shortest piece is 14 inches, middle piece is 19 inches and longest piece is 23 inches long.

how many liters of 40% oil dressing should be mixed with 4 liters of a dressing that is 25% oil to get a dressing that is 30% oi
Ronch [10]
Volume of first oil = A, volume of second oil = B, volume of mixture = M
A = ?, B = 4l, M = A + B

40%A + 25%B = 30%M
40%A + 25%4l = 30%(A+4l)
<span>40%A + 25%4l = 30%A + 30%4l
40A + 100l = 30A + 120l
40A - 30 A = 120l - 100l
10A = 20l
A = 2l
</span>
Answer: 2 litres of 40% oil dressing.

Also note: That's an approximation, because the volumes are not strictly additive. For example: mixing 50ml pure ethanol with 50ml water will give you about 95ml of mixture. To get an accurate answer, you'd have to measure the volume of the final mixture and then divide your total oil content by that<span>.</span>
