Answer:

791.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The cable is inclined and this acts as the hypotenuse. Since the other two sides are given.

H=\sqrt {x^{2}+y^{2}}

where x and y represent the distance between two cliffs apart and difference in heights. Substituting 740 for x and 280 for y then

H=\sqrt {740^{2}+280^{2}}=791.20161779409930627669981858168023442712 ft\approx 791.2 ft

Answer:

791.2 ft to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram,we assume :

AD to be the height of the first cliff

BC to be the height of the second cliff

DC to be the length of the cable between the top of the two cliff.

AD=740 ft.

DE= 280 ft.

Using Pythagorean Theorem, we obtain.;

{DE}^{2}+ {CE}^{2} =  {DC}^{2}

By substitution we obtain

{280}^{2} +  {740}^{2} =

\implies78400 + 547600 =  {DC}^{2}

\implies626000=  {DC}^{2}

Taking positive square root.

\implies DC = \sqrt{626000}

\implies DC =791.202 ft

Given a regular decagon, find the measures of the angles formed by (
Sonja [21]
A decagon has 10 sides (think decade and decathlon). From the center of the decagon we draw the radii and in doing so we take the area of the decagon and divide it into 10 congruent Triangles.

The angles around the center add up to 360 because they form a circle and since there are 10, they each measure 36 degrees. So the answer to the first part (the angle between the radii) is 36 degrees.

Each of these triangles has two equal sides (both radii) so is Isosceles. That means that the base angles are congruent. So the two angles that are left in each triangle must measure the same. Since the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, we know that the two remaining angles are together equal to 180-36=144 degrees. Since they are equal in measure they each measure 72 degrees.

Thus the answer to the second part, trhe measure of the angle between a radius and the side of the polygon is 72 degrees.

Can someone PLEASE help? i need this done!

It would be .43, rounded. You get this answer by taking all of the 10th graders (14) and looking at how many prefer sporting events (6). Then, you simply form a decimal from 6/14, and that comes out to .428, and .43 rounded up. I hope this helps! :)

Paco bought 3 CDs that cost d dollars each and a pack of gum for C cents. Write an expression for the total cost of his purchase
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The correct option is A) 3d+C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Paco bought 3 CDs that cost d dollars each.

Let d is the cost of each CDs.

The cost of 3 CDs will be 3 times of d.

This can be written as:

3d

He bought a pack of gum for C cent. Thus, we can say that the cost of pack of gum is C.

Now add the cost of gum in above expression.

3d+C

Hence, the required expression is 3d+C.

Thus, the correct option is A) 3d+C.
