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

Adrian earns $3600 per month. he spends 1/4 of his income on rent, 2/5 on food, 1/9 on activities, and he saves the rest. how mu
murzikaleks [220]

he saves $860 per month

calculate each of his outgoings

rent = \frac{1}{4} × $3600 = \frac{3600}{4} = $900

food = \frac{2}{5} × $3600 = \frac{2(3600)}{5} = $1440

activities = \frac{1}{9} × $3600 = \frac{3600}{9} = $400

savings = $3600 - ( 900 + 1440 + 400 ) = $860
