Answer:

Choice B. 6 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see this is a right triangle.

The height of this right triangle is 3 km and the angle adjacent to the height leg of the triangle is (90 - 26 ) degrees = 64 degrees.

We want the distance d which is the leg opposite 64 degrees.

tan 64 = d / 3 km ;

d = 3 * tan 64 = 3 * 2.0503038 km = 6.1509 km

Examine the system of equations.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

$\boxed{\boxed{\sf x=-3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf y = -3x - 2$

$\sf y=7$

We'll substitute y into the equation:

$\sf 7 = -3x - 2$

Switch sides:

$\sf -3x-2=7$

Add 2 to both sides

$\sf -3x-2+2=7+2$

$\sf -3x=9$

Divide both sides by -3:

$\sf \cfrac{-3x}{-3}=\cfrac{9}{-3}$

$\sf x=-3$

Therefore, the value of x/solution is -3

Find the area of the figure.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

55 sq meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of big triangle 7x5=35/2

but there's two big triangle so 35/2 x 2 =35

area of small triangle 5x4=20/2 10

10 x 2 =20. And then combine 20+35=55

So the area is 55 sq meters.

Population Growth Using 20th-century U.S. census data,

asambeis [7]

The population of Ohio will be 10 million in the year 1970

The population growth of Ohio is represented by the function:

$P(t)=\frac{12.79}{1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t}$

P is the population in millions

t is the number of years since 1900

To find the year that the population of Ohio will be 10 million, substitute P = 10 into the function P(t) and solve for t

$10=\frac{12.79}{1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t}\\\\10(1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t)=12.79\\\\1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t=\frac{12.79}{10} \\\\1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t=1.279\\\\2.402e^{-}0.0309t=1.279-1\\\\2.402e^{-}0.0309t = 0.279\\\\e^{-}0.0309t =\frac{0.279}{2.402} \\\\e^{-}0.0309t =0.116\\\\-0.0309t=ln0.116\\\\-0.0309t=-2.154\\\\t=\frac{-2.154}{-0.0309} \\\\t=69.7$
