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

4) You randomly select one card from a​ 52-card deck. Find the probability of selecting the 6 of hearts or the ace of diamonds.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

1/26

Step-by-step explanation:

There is only one 6 of hearts and only one ace of diamonds.

The probability of selecting the 6 of hearts is thus 1/52, and that of selecting the ace of diamonds is also 1/52.

The probability of selecting the 6 of hearts or the ace of diamonds is the SUM of these two results:  1/52 + 1/52 = 2/52 = 1/26.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Assuming the question is:  3 + 1 16  [I see no "working below."

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 1 16

48/16 + (16/16 + 1/16)  [Make all numbers into fractions using 16 as the denominator.  E.g. 48/16 = 3.

Add:  48/16 + (16/16 + 1/16)

  (48+16+1)/16

=63/16

[Also equal to 3 15/16]
