Answer:

77 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle. The distance from the viewpoint to the base of the tower is 110 m, the leg of the triangle adjacent to the angle. The height of the spire is the leg of the triangle opposite the given angle. The relevant trig relation is ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Using the given numbers, we find ...

tan(35°) = height/(110 m)

height = (110 m)tan(35°) = (110 m)×0.700208 ≈ 77.0 m

The height of the tower is about 77 meters.

Answer:

59.4 times greater to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

5,028,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

= 5.028 * 10^24

So the required ratio = 5.028 * 10^24 / 8.46 * 10^22

= 0.594326 * 10^2

= 5.94326 * 10

= 59.4326.

Change to standard form.<br> 2x=3y-8

Naily [24]

Standard form is Ax + By = C
Where A is a positive integer
The y needs to be moved to the left side so subtract 3y from both sides.
2x - 3y = -8
