A surveyor wants to know the length of a tunnel built through a mountain. According to his equipment, he is located 120 meters f

rom one entrance of the tunnel, at an angle of 42° to the perpendicular. Also according to his equipment, he is 101 meters from the other entrance of the tunnel, at an angle of 28⁰ to the perpendicular. Based on these measurements, find the length of the entire tunnel. Do not round any intermediate computations. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Note that the figure below is not drawn to scale. 120 meters 42° 28° 101 meters​

The length of the entire tunnel is 127.88 meters by using cosine law or formulae.

Here we can use the formulae of cosine when two sides a and b and angle between then is given we can apply it.

c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} -2ab cos (\alpha )

Let us take surveyor as point A

one end of the tunnel denoted by point B

other end of the tunnel denoted by point C.

The length of AB is 101 meters

length of AC is 120 meters.

Measure of angle at point A = 42° + 28° =70°

Now lets find the length of tunnel

=\sqrt{(120^{2})+(101^{2})-2.(120)(101) cos (70)  }

=\sqrt{14400+10201-24240(0.34)}

=\sqrt{24601-8246}

\sqrt{16355}

=127.88 meters.

Hence the length of the entire tunnel is 127.88 meters.

Triangle ABC is shown Translate Triangle ABC 5 units left and 4 units up and reflect it over the x-axis​
tekilochka [14]

Here is my process for solving this.

First I drew arrows that indicated I was moving the whole triangle 5 units to the left.

*Look at first attachment*

Then I drew another triangle using those new points. (The new triangle is in pink)

*Look at second attachment*

Then I drew arrows that moved this new triangle 4 units up. (The new arrows are in pink)

*Look at third attachment*

Then I drew the new triangle in blue using the new points.

*Look at fourth attachment*

Then I mirrored / reflected the triangle over the x axis (the horizontal line) In green.

*Look at fifth attachment*

The fifth attachment in green is the final product! Hope that helps.

Dmitriy789 [7]
There are105 different choices.
For 1 appetizer, there are 15 different combinations of entrees and desserts. 1 dessert has 5 entrees you can mix, and since there are 3 desserts, there are 15 choices. It goes the same for every appetizer until there is 7x15. 7Ax15choices equals 105 options.
The customer has 105 meal choices.

Based on the diagram shown, all of the following are true statements except
ira [324]

You are correct. The answer is choice C.

The other choices A, B, D have each side add up to 180 degrees either because the angles are a linear pair (adjacent and supplementary) or because the angles are same side interior angles. Same side interior angles are supplementary if a transversal line cuts through a pair of parallel lines as so happens in this diagram.
