The closest distance up the tree where the wire reaches is 17.93 foot.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Length of the wire, L = 12 foot

angle, Ф= 48°

Distance upto which the wire reaches the tree, x = ?

We know,

cos Ф = base/ hypotenuse

cos 48° = 12/ x

0.669 = 12/x

x = 17.93 foot

Therefore, the closest distance up the tree where the wire reaches is 17.93 foot.

Hey there!

<h2>ANSWER: x=2</h2><h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

5x-3x=6x-8

Combine like terms.

(5x+-3x)=6x-8\\2x=6x-8

Subtract 6x from both sides of the equation.

2x-6x=6x-8-6x\\-4x=-8

In the last step, we will divide both sides by -4.

\frac{-4x}{-4} =\frac{-8}{-4} \\x=2(ANSWER)

Hope this helps and have a great weekend!

A restaurant chef was ordering supplies. He ordered 9 pounds of beef at 7.53 per pound, 9 pounds of potatoes at $6.45 a pound an
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

916.57 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of beef = 7.53 pounds × 9

= 67.77 pounds

Cost of potatoes = 6.45 pounds × 9

= 58.05 pounds

Cost of carrots = 6.23 pounds × 4

= 24.92 pounds

Total cost = 67.77 pounds + 58.05 pounds + 24.92 pounds

= 150.74 pounds

Total revenue = 27 meals × 39.53 pounds

= 1067.31 pounds

Total profits = Total revenue - Total cost

= 1067.31 pounds - 150.74 pounds

= 916.57 pounds
