See the picture attached to better understand the problem
 we know that
in the right triangle ABC
tan 64°=AB/AC------> AB=AC*tan 64°-----> AB=x*tan 64°---> equation 1

in the right triangle ABD
tan 43°=AB/DA----> AB=DA*tan 43°---> AB=(240+x)*tan 43°---> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2
x*tan 64°-=(240+x)*tan 43°---->x*tan 64=240*tan 43+x*tan 43
x*[tan 64-tan 43]=240*tan 43-----> x=240*tan 43/[tan 64-tan 43]
x=200.22 ft

AB=x*tan 64----> AB=200.22*tan 64-----> AB=410.51 ft

the answer is
410.51 ft

Kylie explained that (–4x + 9)2 will result in a difference of squares because (–4x + 9)2 = (–4x)2 + (9)2 = 16x2 + 81. Which sta
Serjik [45]
The correct product should have been:
<span>(–4x + 9)2 = </span>(-4x)2 + 2(-4x)(9) + 9^2 = 16x6 - 72x +81
The result is a trinomial and not a binomial nor a difference of two squares.

So, the answer is:
C = Kylie did not understand that this is a perfect square trinomial, and she did not determine the product correctly.

A factory made 4250
vodomira [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of cookies = 4250

butter cookies, b

Almond cookies, a

Chocolate cookies, c

It made 715 more butter cookies than

almond cookies

b = a + 715

It made 5 times as many chocolate cookies as almond

5a = c

Total amount of cookies

= a + b + c

= a + (a+715) + (5a)

= 7a + 715

7a + 715 = 4250

7a = 4250-715

a = 3535 / 7

a = 505

c = 5a

= 5 (505)

= 2525

The factory make 2525 chocolate cookies.
