5.7y-5.2=y/2.5
Add 5.2 to both sides:
5.7y = y/2.5 + 5.2
y/2.5 = 0.4y
5.7y = 0.4y + 5.2
Subtract 0.4y from both sides:
5.3y = 5.2
Divide both sides by 5.3:
y = 5.2/5.3
y = 0.98113
Answer:
32.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation forms a right triangle. We are given the distance from the base of the tower (long leg of the triangle) and are asked to find the height (short leg of the triangle).
With this information, we can use the tan ratio, opposite over adjacent, to find the height of the tower.
tan 18 = 
Multiply each side by 100:
(100) tan 18 = x
Simplify and round to the nearest tenth:
32.49 = x
32.5 = x
So, the height of the tower is approximately 32.5 feet
Answer:
181 mi^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimensions of large rectangle, on the left, are 6 mi by 8 m; area is 48 m^2;
Dimensions of small rectangle, in the middle of the diagram, are 4 mi by 5 mi, or 20 mi^2; area is 20 mi^2.
Dimensions of circle: r = 12 mi; area of quarter circle is (1/4)(3.14)(12 mi)^2, or 113 mi^2.
Total area is 113 mi^2 + 20 mi^2 + 48 mi^2, or 181 mi^2
Rational....because it can be written as a ratio
