Answer:

722 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan(22.9) = 305/base

Base = 305/tan(22.9)

Base = 722.036124

To the nearest foot, 722 feet

Answer:

is at a distance of 722 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the angle that forms between the water and the imaginary line between the ship and the tip of the statue

we have the statue height that would be the opposite leg to our angle and we want to know the distance of the ship to the statue that would be the adjacent leg

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legas and the hypotenuse

a: adjacent

o: opposite

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

it's the tangent

tan α = o/a

we replace the values ​​and solve

tan α = o/a

tan 22.9 = 305/a

a = 305/tan22.9

a = 305/0.4224

a = 722

is at a distance of 722 feet

Which equation has the least steep graph?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{4}x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

y=\frac{1}{4}x+6 is the least steeped graph

  1. The greater the slope, the steeper the line.
  2. Also you use the absolute values of the slopes when determining the steepness.
  • So here it would be: \frac{3}{4},7,\frac{1}{4},2
  • Now, arrange them from least to greatest: \frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{4},2,7

As you can see, \frac{1}{4} is the smallest number/slope.

Hope this helps!

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Monday 45

Tuesday 62

Step-by-step explanation:

It's asking you to find the common factor. 28 goes into both of these numbers. So do 1260÷28 and 1736÷28

(40 pts)can you factor the difference of square?perfect square trinomials?
stira [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of two squares may be represented by the formula:  a^2-b^2,

which can be factored as (a+b)(a-b)

A perfect square trinomial may be represented by the formula: a^(2)-2ab+b^2 or  a^(2)+2ab+b^2, depending on the sign of b

if b is negative: use the formula a^(2)-2ab+b^2, which can be factored as (a-b)*(a-b) or (a-b)^(2)

if b is positive: use the formula a^(2)+2ab+b^2, which can be factored as (a+b)*(a+b) or (a+b)^(2)
