The people of Bridgetown wanted to build a bridge across a nearby river. Since they were poor swimmers, their master Trigonomos

agreed to measure the width of the river without actually crossing it. Trigonomos spotted a tree across the river and marked the spot directly across from it. Then he walked to another point 1 5 1515 meters down the river and found that the angle between his side of the river and the line connecting him to the tree was 7 6 ∘ 76 ​∘ ​​ 76, degree. What is the width of the river? Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

width of the river is 60.16 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure

AB = width of river

We are required to find the width of river .

Since we are given that . Trigonomos spotted a tree across the river and marked the spot directly across from it.

Then he walked to the another point  15 meters down the river .i.e. BC = 15 m

He also found the angle between his side of the river and the line connecting him to the tree  i.e. ∠ACB = 76°

So, now to calculate the width of river i.e. AB , we will use trigonometric ratio

tan\theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

tan76^{\circ}= \frac{AB}{BC}

4.0107= \frac{AB}{15}

60.16=AB

Thus the width of the river is 60.16 m

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

$27,272.73= sales

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Desired commission= $900

Commission rate= 3.3% = 0.033 of sales

<u>To calculate the sales required, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Commission= sales*commission rate

900= sales*0.033

900/0.033= sales

$27,272.73= sales

How to write unit form for (2 tens 1 one) x 10
poizon [28]
Numbers are arranged by their place values. Place values give a quantity of value to a certain digit in a number. Given a number, the rightmost number is the ones place, followed by the tens place, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, ten millions, hundred millions, as so on and so forth. The place value of a certain digit is 10 times bigger than its adjacent digit to the right.

So for this problem, all you have to do is multiply the number of units of each place value, then multiple them all by 10.

(2(10) + 1(1))×10
21 × 10 = 210

Therefore, the number is equivalent and written as 210.

What is the answer to this problem -2b+6=-2b-2b?
TEA [102]
6 = -2b (cancel -2b on both sides)

6/-2 = b (divide both sides by -2)

-3 = b (simplify 6/2 to 3)

now switch sides

Answer: b = -3
