θ\ 6 degrees
    \
\ so the θ= 180-90-6 =84 degrees so we need to find x
20m   \ tan (84)=x/20
  ____  \ x=20 tan(84)
x x=190.287

Find the value of 815×213 Although these numbers aren't quite as nice as the ones from the example, the procedure is the same, s

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The answer is 173,595‬

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you multiply 815 by the first number of 213 which is 3

So:

$815* 3=2445\\$

Then 815 by the second number:

$815* 1=815\\$

Then 815 by the third number:

$815* 2=1630\\$

Then you add all the numbers, but you have to put a zero to the right of the second product and two zeroes to the third product and so on..

In this case the addition is :

2445+8150+163000 = 173595

Check the picture below.

$\bf V=3354~in^3\qquad \qquad 3354=6(w-12)(w+18)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3354}{6}=w^2+6w-216\implies 559=w^2+6w-216
\\\\\\
0=w^2+6w-775\implies 0=(w+31)(w-25)\implies w=
\begin{cases}
-31\\
\boxed{25}
\end{cases}$

since the width is just a dimension unit, it can't be -31.

what is the length? well, the length is w + 30.

A tuxedo rental shop rents tuxedos with sleeve lengths from 20 inches to 40 inches. The shop says the length of the sleeves shou

Rzqust [24]

Let the person's arm length be = x

Condition is : sleeve lengths available from 20 inches to 40 inches and the length of the sleeves should be about 1.2 times a person's arm length.

So, the inequality equation becomes:

$20\leq1.2x\leq40$

This gives x= $\frac{20}{1.2}=16.66$ or $16\frac{2}{3}$

or x= $\frac{40}{1.2}$ =33.33 or $33\frac{1}{3}$

Hence, the shop does not provide tuxedos to people with arm length less than 16.66 inches and greater than 33.33 inches.
