Answer:

101.98 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the diagram that I drew (sorry for the messiness; I do not own a stylus and so I was using my mouse to try to draw it).

Since the triangle is a right triangle, you can use SOH CAH TOA. In this case, you are trying to figure out the opposite length, but you are given the adjacent. So, we will use tangent to solve this (TOA = Tangent, Opposite over Adjacent).

The angle is 22.6 degrees, and the tangent of the angle is equivalent to the opposite length, x, divided by the adjacent length, 245 yards.

tan(22.6) = x / 245

x / 245 = tan(22.6)

x = tan(22.6) * 245

x = 0.4162598242 * 245

x = 101.9836569

So, you are about 101.98 yards from the cabin.

Hope this helps!

Four polynomials are shown below:
7nadin3 [17]
C. It is fifth degree because the highest power in it is 5. It is a binomial because there are two terms in it.

A is also 5th degree, but it has three terms. D is a binomial, but its degree is 3.

B is neither a binomial nor fifth degree.

What is the smallest of 3 consecutive positive integers if the product of the smaller two integers is 5 less than 5 times the la
olga55 [171]
Let's say the first number is "a"
the next consecutive can just be "a+1" and  the next, you guessed it, "a+2"
the two smaller ones are a and a+1, the larger one is a+2

now, the product of "a" and "a+1" equals 5 times "a+2" but less by 5

thus   a(a + 1) = 5(a + 2) - 5   <----- solve for "a"
