Answer:

The distance from both of them = 1463.925  ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The building is 964 ft tall . 2 people are standing on the ground directly west of the building. The first person looks up at an angle of 62° to the top of the building while the second person did same at an angle of 26°. The distance between them can be computed below.

The illustration forms a right angle triangle . Using the SOHCAHTOA principle let us find the distance of the second person from the building

tan 26° = opposite/adjacent

tan 26° = 964/adjacent

adjacent tan 26° = 964

adjacent = 964/tan 26°

adjacent = 964/0.48773258856

adjacent = 1976.49290328 ft

The distance from the second person to the building = 1976.493 ft

Distance of the first person to the building

tan 62° = opposite/adjacent

tan 62° = 964/adjacent

adjacent tan 62° = 964

adjacent = 964/tan 62°

adjacent = 964/1.88072646535

adjacent = 512.567892122

distance from the first person to the building = 512.568 ft

The distance from both of them =  1976.493 ft - 512.568 ft = 1463.925  ft

belka [17]

Answer:

<u>5/6 ÷ 7/10 = 1 4/21</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>How did we solve the problem above? When we divide two fractions, such as 5/6 ÷ 7/10, we flip the second fraction and then we simply multiply the numerators with each other and the denominator with each other.</u>

<u>We also simplify the answers to fraction problems whenever possible.  hope this helps</u>

erica [24]

The equation to represent the number of people that can attend the event will be 18500 +/- 1200.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

Based on the information, equation to represent the number of people that can attend the event will be 18500 +/- 1200.

The maximum number will be:

= 18500 + 1200

= 19700

The minimum number will be:

= 18500 - 1200

= 17300

How to do the problem
marta [7]
There are 153 people who each ate 1/4 pounds. Therefore, the amount of watermelon eaten is 153/4 pounds.
The amount of watermelon served is
8 \frac{1}{4}  + 9 \frac{1}{4}  + 8 \frac{7}{8}  + 9 \frac{5}{8}  + 10 \frac{3}{4}
=  \frac{8 \times 4 + 1}{4}  +  \frac{9 \times 4 + 1}{4}  \\  +  \frac{8 \times 8 + 7}{8}  +  \frac{9 \times 8 + 5}{8} \\  +  \frac{10 \times 4 + 3}{4}
=  \frac{33}{4}  +  \frac{37}{4}  +  \frac{71}{8}  +  \frac{77}{8}  +  \frac{43}{4}  \\  =  \frac{33 \times 2}{4 \times 2}  +  \frac{37 \times 2}{4 \times 2}  +  \frac{71}{8}  \\  +  \frac{77}{8}  +  \frac{43 \times 2}{4 \times 2}
=  \frac{66 + 74 + 71 + 77 + 86}{8}
=  \frac{374}{8}  =  \frac{186}{4}
There is 186/4 total watermelon. Minus the 153/4 that was eaten,
\frac{186 - 153}{4}  =  \frac{33}{4}  = 8 \frac{1}{4}

The leftover watermelon is 8 & 1/4 pounds.

What is a simplified expression for (x−y)−(x+y)?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

-2y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

x−y−(x+y)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=x−y+−1(x+y)

=x+−y+−1x+−1y

=x+−y+−x+−y

Combine Like Terms:

=x+−y+−x+−y

=(x+−x)+(−y+−y)

=−2y
