If you draw a diagram of this, your given values of the resulting triangle give you the sides opposite and adjacent of the angle. The formula that uses these sides is tangent.

The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side over the other non-hypotenuse side (adjacent).

Therefore;

tan(40)=70/x
0.83909963117=70/x
0.83909963117x=70
x=70/0.83909963117
x=83.4227514823

Where x is the length of the string in feet.

Help me please, kinda lost
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

400cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, you need to find the surface areas of both objects, then add them together.

For the cube:

56cm for the front

56cm for the back

42cm for the side

42cm for the other side

48cm for the top

48cm for the bottom

SA for the cube: 292cm^2

For the triangle, things are a little different. We do the same process that we did to find the SA of the cube, but we do not have to find the SA of the top side (because there isn't a top side) and we have to divide the total SA by 2 because it's a triangle.

For the triangle:

42cm for the front

42cm for the back

54cm for the slanted side

42cm for the other side

36cm for the bottom

SA for the triangle: (216/2)^2=108cm^2

292+108=400cm^2

the SA of the composite figure is 400cm^2

The population of a wildlife habitat is modeled by the equation LaTeX: p\left(t\right)=\frac{360}{1\:\:+\:\:6.2e^{-0.35t}} p ( t
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

50 animals.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the population of a wildlife habitat is modeled by the equation p(t)=\frac{360}{1+6.2e^{-0.35t}}, where t is given in years. We are asked to find the the number of animals originally transported to the habitat.

To find the the number of animals originally transported to the habitat, we will substitute t=0 in our given equation as:

p(0)=\frac{360}{1+6.2e^{-0.35(0)}}

p(0)=\frac{360}{1+6.2e^{0}}

p(0)=\frac{360}{1+6.2(1)}

p(0)=\frac{360}{7.2}

p(0)=50

Therefore, 50 animals were originally transported to the habitat.
