Answer:

£100

Step-by-step explanation:

if the ratio is 7:3, the difference between them is 7-3 . = 4.

So,

4x = £40

Now, calculate x

x = £10

Now,

we are able to calculate:

7x (Bridget's share) = £70

3x (Caroline's share) = £30

Sum = £100

Hope this helps.

Good Luck

A circle has a circumference of 50.24 units.<br> What is the radius of the circle?

S_A_V [24]

$2 \times \pi \times r = 50.24 \\ 2 \times \frac{22}{7} r = 50.24 \\ r = \frac{50.24 \times 7}{22 \times 2 } \\ r = \frac{351.68}{44} \\ r = 7.99$

Factor x2 + xy - 2x - 2y.

ankoles [38]

Answer:

(X-2)(x+y)

Step-by-step explanation:

So we can factor X out, x(x-2) and factor y out y(x-2). Now we can factor out the x-2, so we have (x-2)(x+y)

NGC is a hot air balloon in the sky from her spot on the ground. The angle of elevation from Angie to the balloon is 40°. If she

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The distance from hot air balloon to the ground $AC=50.1457 ft$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Labelled diagram of given scenario is shown below.

Given that,

An angle of elevation of Hot air balloon by Angie is $40$ °.

When she stepped back $200 ft$ then angle of elevation was $10$ °.

Height of Angie is $5.5 ft$ .

To find: How far off the ground is a hot air balloon.

So, from figure

Height of Angie $(BC) = 5.5ft$

In triangle Δ $ABD$ ,

⇒ $tan {40\si {\degree}} = \frac{AB}{BD}$

⇒ $AB = tan (40) \times BD$ ....................(1)

Now, In triangle Δ $ABE$

⇒ $tan (10)= \frac{AB}{200+BD}$

⇒ $AB = tan(10)\times (200+BD)$

Here, substituting the value $AB$ from Equation (1) we get,

$tan(10)\times (200+BD)= tan(40)\times BD$

$tan(10)\times 200+tan(10)\times BD= tan(40)\times BD$

⇒ $BD\times (tan(40)-tan(10))=tan(10)\times 20$

⇒ $BD\times 0.6628 = 35.2654$

⇒ $BD = \frac{35.2654}{0.6628} =53.2067 ft$

Now, finding the value of $AB$ from equation (1)

$AB= tan(40)\times 53.2067=0.8391\times 53.2067$

$AB=44.6457 ft$

Therefore Length of $AC= AB+BC$ = $(44.6457 + 5.5) ft$

$AC=50.1457 ft$ .

Hence,

The distance from hot air balloon to the ground $AC=50.1457 ft$ .
