Answer:

17 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first Ranger be at A and the second Ranger at Point B.

Using alternate angles, ∠AXB=22°.

We want to determine the distance of the first ranger at point A to the fire(X).

Using trigonometry,

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Tan 22°= 7/|AX|

|AX| X Tan 22°= 7

|AX| = 7/Tan 22°=17.32560797391

= 17 miles( to the nearest mile)

The first ranger is 17 miles from the fire.

Answer:

B. -\frac{3}{5} is located on the left of -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a number line, the greater the negative number, the further to the left of a negative line the number is. It says that -3/5 is greater than -2, so it is to the left of 2. It also cannot be C or D as both numbers are negative, and therefore, to the left of 0.

Hope this helps! :D

Pls help I need to find the missing sides?!!
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The missing sides are 13 (small) and 2424 (big)

Step-by-step explanation:

The bigger triangle is bigger by 2 so multiply or divide the sides you do know by 2 to find the missing sides.

BC=12

ED= 12*2= 24

FD= 26

AC= 26/2= 13
