This is the concept of application of trigonometry; the distance of the boat from the liberty statute will be:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
thus;
let 
the distance be b;
thus;
opposite=93 m
adjacent= b
theta=26.3
hence;
tan 26.3=93/b
solving for b we get;
b=93/tan 26.3
b=188.171 m

Find the product of (3 x 109) and (2 x 109). Write the final answer in scientific notation.
chubhunter [2.5K]

The  product of (3 x 109) and (2 x 109) in scientific notation is 6*10^9

<h3>What is scientific notation?</h3>

scientific notation can be described as the expression in the form  a x 10^b where a is a number or decimal number a is greater than or equal to one.

(3 x 109) * (2 x 109) =6*10^9

Therefore, option D is correct.

Mike is buying eight tickets for a concert. A package of five tickets costs $74.45. Individual tickets cost $17.25 each. What is
svetlana [45]

Answer:

$126.20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Given:</em></u>

<em>Mike is buying eight tickets for a concert. </em>

<em>A package of five tickets costs $74.45. </em>

<em>Individual tickets cost $17.25 each.</em>

<u><em>To Find:</em></u>

<em>What is the least amount that Mike can pay for eight tickets? Be sure to include a decimal point in your answer.</em>

<u><em>Solve:</em></u>

<em>Since we know that:</em>

<em>A package of five tickets costs $74.45. </em>

<em>Individual tickets cost $17.25 each.</em>

<em>Hence we know that 5 + 3 = 8</em>

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>$74.45 = 5 tickets</em>

<em>Now for the 3 tickets we can do individual tickets which cost $17.25</em>

<em>$17.25 × 3 = 51.75</em>

<em>Then we add both together:</em>

<em>51.75 + 74.45 = $126.20</em>

Hello, happy Friday, I am just here with some geometry questions.
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

m<D = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Triangle STU and DEF are similar triangles, because their corresponding side lengths have the same ratio.

For example FD can be multiplied by 2.5 to get SU, and EF can be multiplied by 2.5 to get TU, and ED can me multiplied by 2.5 to get 15.

Anyways, since the two triangles are similar, they have the same angle measures, meaning that angle D can be found by subtracting 46 and 25 from 180 degrees to find the missing angle, which is 105 degrees. I hope that helps.
