Answer:
<h2>a = 400/21, b = 580/21</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Small triangles are similar. Therefore, the sides are proportional
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>divide both sides by 21</em>

For b, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:

Answer:
.016 kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
A kilometer is 1000 meters. Divide the length of the markers by 1000 (16/1000) and you get the answer of .016 kilometers.
<h3>
Answer: 375.9 sq ft</h3>
This is assuming there is no overlap.
===================================
Work Shown:
1 bag = 125.3 sq ft
3*(1 bag) = 3*(125.3 sq ft)
3 bags = 375.9 sq ft
Ok so we need to set the bottom to 0 to find the vertical asympyotes. This becomes x^2 - 4 = 0. Since we're talking about asymptotes, i'll assume you can solve basic equations. Solving for x and you get x = ±2. This means the vertical asymptotes are at ±2. To solve for horizontal asymptotes you take the limit as x goes to ±∞. Either way you end up with ±∞/∞. Now this isn't 1 because they grow at different rates. You differentiate both the top and bottom(L'hopital) and you get 6x/2x which becomes 3. This means the horizontal asymptote is at y = 3.
