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.

What is the expression in factored form? x2 + 14x + 48

scZoUnD [109]

(x+6)(x+8) = 0
x = -6 or x = -8

I'm just wondering, does the equation happen to be 2x^2 + 14x + 48? That would make more sense with the answer I got.

anastassius [24]

Answer:

5 withdrawals

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $10.50 ends in $0.50, you know that she must have made at least one $2.50 transaction.

10.50 - 2.50 = 8

8/2 = 4 (she made four $2 transactions)

She made 4 $2 transactions and 1 $2.50 transaction.

4 + 1 = 5

She made 5 transactions total.
