Answer:

  105.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent ratio is the ratio of the side opposite an angle to the adjacent side in a right triangle. Here, the side opposite the angle is the tower height, and the adjacent side is the distance to the tower. Then the appropriate relationship is ...

  tan(38°) = (tower height)/(135 ft)

Multiplying by the denominator gives ...

  tower height = (135 ft)·tan(38°) ≈ 105.473 ft

The height of the tower is about 105.5 feet.

The diagram represents a difference of squares.
harkovskaia [24]
The factors are
(m-6)(m+6)

Explanation:
Group the first two terms and factor out the common factor:
i.e m(m-6)
Repeat the procedure for terms 3 and 4.
6(m-6)

Regrouping:
m(m-6)+6(m-6)

On factoring out (m-6), we get:
(m-6)(m+6)

Determine which of the following equations, when graphed, intersect at the point (4, 0).
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Hence, the following equations, when graphed, intersect at the point (4, 0):

x - y = 4 (1)

x + y = 4 (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>" For the graph to intersect at the point (4,0) we mean that when y=0 , x must be equal to 4 or we could say that when x=4 then y=0".</em>

1)

x-y=4

now when y=0 then x=4.

Hence, the graph intersect at the point (4,0).

2)

-x-y=4

When y=0 in the equation then x=-4, Hence the point (4,0) does not lie on the graph of the given function.

3)

2x-y=7

When y=0 then x=7/2.

Hence the graph of the function does not intersect at the point (4,0).

4)

x+y=4

When y=0 then x=4.

Hence the graph of the given function intersect at (4,0).

5)

2x + y = 7

When y=0 then x=7/2.

Hence the graph of the function does not intersect at the point (4,0).

6)

2x + y = -7

When y=0 then x= -7/2.

Hence the graph of the function does not intersect at the point (4,0).
