Answer:

The correct answer is 62.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Use tan (tan= opp/adj)

Input your values:

Height- 1454

Length from Base- 750

Equation:

tan(x)=1454/750 (Gives you 1.938...)

The use the inverse of tan and use 1.938

Equation:

atan(1.938)= 62.07

Hope this helped you out :}

The tower will be represented by AB and BC is the base of the tower to the point 750 ft. The angle of elevation is α.
the value of α will be given by:
tan α=(AB)/(BC)
AB=1454 ft
BC=750 ft
hence:
tan α=750/1454
tan α=0.5158
thus
α=arctan 0.5158
α=27.2855~27.3°

The length of a rectangle is (5x − 1) cm and the width is (11 − 2x) cm. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 44 centimeters, wha
daser333 [38]

Answer:

57 cm²

Step-by-step explanation

<em>l = length</em>

<em>w = width</em>

<em>p = perimeter</em>

<em />

<em>(5x - 1) = length</em>

<em>(11 - 2x) = width</em>

<em>44 = perimeter</em>

<em />

<em>Formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:</em>

<em>l + l + w + w</em>

<em>2l + 2w = p</em>

<em />

<em>Substitute the variables for the length and width with the values given to you by the problem, then solve.</em>

<em></em>

<em>2(5x - 1) + 2(11 - 2x) = 44</em>

<em>(10x - 2) + (22 - 4x) = 44 (Distributive property)</em>

6x + 20 = 44

6x = 24

x = 4

<em>Plug x = 4 back into the length and width.</em>

Length = (5x - 1), (5(4) - 1), (19)

Width =  (11 - 2x), (11 - 2(4)), (3)

<em>Area for a rectangle: Length × Width = Area.</em>

<em>19 × 3 = 57 cm²</em>

<em>This is all in cm so answer with cm²</em>

Helga [31]

Answer:

m=\frac{-2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use the formula:</u>

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

<u>Plug in the numbers (coordinates) given, like so:</u>

m=\frac{3-7}{6+4}

m=\frac{-4}{10}

<u>Simplify:</u>

Based only on the given information, it is guaranteed that AD = CD.
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Not really, actually it depends on the shape given whether it's a rectangle, a square etc. Because you can't conclude that the shape of a rectangle with such dimensions could be guaranteed.
