See the attached picture to better understand the problem

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
tan 48=AC/AB--------> AC=AB*tan 48-----> AC=x*tan 48-----> equation 1

in the right triangle ACD
tan 41=AC/AD-----> AC=AD*tan 41------> AC=(140-x)*tan 41----> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2

x*tan 48=(140-x)*tan 41----> x*tan 48=140*tan 41-x*tan 41
x*[tan 48+tan 41]=140*tan 41
x=140*tan 41/[tan 48+tan 41]-----> x=61.468 m

find AC
AC=x*tan 48-----> AC=61.468*tan 48----> AC=68.27 m----> AC=68 m

the answer is
68 m

HELP FAST I’LL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 6x+4y=72. Fully reduc
denis23 [38]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 4y = 72

-6x         -6x

4y = 72 - 6x

/4         /4

y = 18 - 6/4x

y = -6/4x + 18

perpidicular slope is the opposite reciprical of the original line:

-6/4 is the slope of the line above.

4/6  or 2/3 would be the desired slope

check:

the two slopes mutplied would equal -1

-6/4 x 2/3 = -12/12 = -1

How do you get the answer to 37+10+14=_-23
Sholpan [36]
By solving algebraically. add all the terms on the left to get 61=x-23 then add 23 to both sides to get 84=x and thats the answer x=84
Good Luck!
