Answer: The distance from the base of one pole to the top of the other pole is approximately 108.17 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is shown in the attached photo. Two congruent right angle triangles, ABC and BAD are formed. Since the triangles are the same, we would consider only one of them.
Let the distance from the base of one pole to the top of the other pole be x feet.
Considering triangle ABC,
Hypotenuse = x feet
Opposite side = 60 feet
Adjacent side = 90 feet
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
Hypotenuse^2 = Opposite^2 + Adjacent ^2
This becomes
x^2 = 60^2 + 90^2
x^2 = 3600 + 8100 = 11700
x = √11700 = 108.16653826392
Approximately 108.17 feet
No,0.16 is only a rational number.
Answer:
there are 8 acres that can be planted
200 - 198/6(number of multiples of 6 smaller than 200) - 195/15(number of multiples of 15 smaller than 200) + 180/(lcm of 6 and 15) (number of multiples of both 6 and 15 smaller than 200) = 158
hope i helped :)
