We are given
height = 3.7 mi
radius = 3959 mi

We are asked for the distance between the man and the horizon
The straight line from the man to the horizon is a tangent line to the surface of the earth
Using Pythagorean theorem
(3.7 + 3959)² = 3959² + d²

Solve for d
d = 171 mi

Answer:

Therefore, The climber's distance to the horizon = 171.20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A climber is standing at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, approximately 3.7 miles above sea level

⇒ Height of the climber from the sea level = 3.7 miles

The radius of the Earth is 3959 miles

⇒ Radius = 3959 miles.

Now, The line of sight L of the earth can be found by using the formula :

L^2 + Radius^2=(Radius + Height)^2\\\\\implies L^2+3959^2=(3959+3.7)^2\\\\ \implies L^2 + 3959^2=3962.7^2\\\\\implies L^2=3962.7^2-3959^2\\\\\implies L^2 = 29310.29\\\\\implies L\approx 171.20\:\:miles

Therefore, The climber's distance to the horizon = 171.20 miles

Help me with 16,17,18,and 19 please simpl
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Ques 16)

We have to simplify the expression:

\dfrac{t^2}{t^2+3t-18}-(\dfrac{5t}{t^2+3t-18}-\dfrac{t-3}{t^2+3t-18})\\   \\=\dfrac{t^2}{t^2+3t-18}-(\dfrac{4t+3}{t^2+3t-18})\\  \\=\dfrac{t^2-4t-3}{t^2+3t+18}

Ques 17)

\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7}{w^2+8w+15}+\dfrac{2w^2-9w+4}{(2w^2+9w-5)(w^2-w-12)}\\  \\=\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7}{w^2+8w+15}+\dfrac{(2w-1)(w-4)}{(2w-1)(w+5)(w+3)(w-4)}\\\\=\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7}{(w+3)(w+5)}+\dfrac{1}{(w+3)(w+5)}\\\\=\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7+1}{(w+3)(w+5)}\\\\=\dfrac{(3w-2)(w+3)}{(w+5)(w+3)}\\\\=\dfrac{3w-2}{w+5}

Ques 18)

Let the blank space be denoted by the quantity 'x'.

\dfrac{x}{12a^2+8a}+\dfrac{15a^2}{12a^2+8a}=\dfrac{7a}{3a+2}\\ \\\dfrac{x+15a^2}{12a^2+8a}=\dfrac{7a}{3a+2}\\\\=\dfrac{x+15a^2}{4a(3a+2)}=\dfrac{7a}{3a+2}\\\\=\dfrac{x+15a^2}{4a}=7a\\\\x+15a^2=28a^2\\\\x=28a^2-15a^2\\\\x=13a^2

Ques 19)

Let the missing quantity be denoted by 'x'.

\dfrac{p^2+7p+2}{p^2+5p-14}-\dfrac{x}{p^2+5p-14}=\dfrac{p-1}{p-2}\\ \\\dfrac{p^2+7p+2-x}{p^2+5p-14}=\dfrac{p-1}{p-2}\\\\\dfrac{p^2+7p+2-x}{(p-2)(p+7)}=\dfrac{p-1}{p-2}\\\\p^2+7p+2-x=(p-1)(p+7)\\\\p^2+7p+2-x=p^2+6p-7\\\\x=p+9

Josh went to applebee and enjoyed a delicious steak. He enjoyed his server and wanted to give an extra special tip. Usually josh
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Josh's total bill is $ 27.825

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The subtotal of the Josh Bill =   $21.00

<u>Finding the usual amount Josh gave as Tip To his sever:</u>

Usually josh tips 20% to all servers

So Tip = 20% of his subtotal

=> 20\% \times 21

=>\frac{20}{100} \times 21

=>0.2 \times 21

=>4.2

So Josh usually tips $4.2 to his server

<u>Finding the amount Josh gave 25%</u><u> </u><u>as Tip To his sever:</u>

But now he tips 25% which is

=> 25% of 21

=> \frac{25}{100} \times 21

=> 0.25 \times 21

=> 5.25

Thus the tip amount will be $5.25

So he will be giving (5.25 - 4.2) = $1.05 more than the usual tip

<u>Finding the total bill</u>

The total bill  = subtotal+ 7.5% sales tax +  25% tip

=> 21 + 7.5 % of 21 + 25% of 21

=> 21 + \frac{75}{100} \times 21 +  \frac{25}{100} \times 21

=>21 +0.075 \times 21 +  0.25 \times 21

=> 21 +1.575 +5.25

=>27.825
