Answer:

42315.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the horizontal distance be x.

\tan 5.4^{\circ}=\frac{4000}{x} \\ \\ x=\frac{4000}{\tan 5.4^{\circ}} \\ \\ x \approx 42315.6

The solution is x=1 and y=-2

Further explanation:

Given equations are:

\frac{7}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}y=\frac{9}{2}\\3x-y=5

Multiplying equation no. 1 with 2 will give us:

7x-y=9       Eqn 3

From equation no 2:

3x-y=5\\-y=5-3x\\y=3x-5

Putting the value of y in eqn 3

7x-(3x-5)=9\\7x-3x+5=9\\4x=9-5\\4x=4\\\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{4}{4}\\x=1\\Putting\ x=1\ in\ equation\ 2\\3(1)-y=5\\3-y=5\\-y=5-3\\-y=2\\y=-2\\

The solution is x=1 and y=-2

For a project, Gabrielle made a model of an Egyptian pyramid. The square base has a side length measuring 10 inches. The pyramid
Varvara68 [4.7K]
The pyramid is shown in the diagram below.
The pyramid is built from four congruent triangles and one square as the base

We have the side of the square, so the area is = 10×10 = 100

We need the height of the triangle to work out its area. We can find out by using the height of the pyramid and half of the length of the side of the square.

Using the Pythagoras rule
Height of triangle = \sqrt{12^{2}+ 5^{2} } =13

Area of one triangle = 1/2×10×12=60
Surface area of the pyramid = 100 + (4×60) = 340 square inches

Determine whether the sequence is arithmetic if so what’s the common difference -9 -33-57-81
QveST [7]

Answer:

Arithmetic.

Common Difference: -24

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence with the difference between two consecutive terms constant. The difference is called the common difference. A geometric sequence is a sequence with the ratio between two consecutive terms constant.

For arithmetic, to find the common difference we take any pair of successive numbers, and we subtract the first from the second.

For geometric, to find the common ratio can be found by dividing any term in the sequence by the previous term.
