A flagpole casts a shadow 16.60 meters long Tim stands at a distance of 12.45 meters from the base of the flagpole such that the

This problem is solely on right triangles, wherein the Pythagorean theorem may be applied. We must first find the angle of elevation of the flagpole using Tim's height and the difference between the shadow of the flagpole and Tim's distance from the flagpole. Therefore tan a = 1.65/(16.6-12.5) where a=21.68 degrees. We use this angle to determine the height of the flagpole. tan 21.68 = x/ 16.6 where x=height of flagpole=6.6 meters.

Only answer this if you have an explanation and if you know what the answer is.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

G

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 50 students being asked, to find a percentage, put the output (the number of students that chose each genre) and the input (the number of students asked all together) in ratio form as a fraction. You will get the fractions 10/50, 16/50, 20/50, and 4/50. Multiply each denominator by two to get the percentage. You will get 20/100, 32,/100, 40/100, and 8/100. If you look at the four answers provided, you can cross out J immediately because it shows that "Other" was the greatest percentage, when it is in fact the smallest. H can be crossed out as well, since the percentage for "Mystery" is over 20% when it should be exactly at 20%. F can be crossed out as well because it shows that "Other" takes up 10%, when it is actually a bit less, 8%. G is the best choice because the percentage that "Other" takes up is a bit less than 10%, so it's safe to say that it shows 8%.

6( 5-8x) +12= -54
UkoKoshka [18]
<span>6( 5-8x) +12= -54 
30-48x+12=-54 this comes from distributing(multiplying) 6x5 and 6 times -8x
30+12-48x=-54 you have to add the coefficients 30+12
42-48x=-54  
-42        -42 
-----------------------
-48x=-96 divide by -48
x=2</span>

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)
Allushta [10]

Answer:  proof below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Use the Difference formula for sin:

  sin (A - B) = sin(A)·cos(B) - cos(A)·sin(B)

sin (180° - θ) = sin(180°)·cos(θ) - cos(180°)·sin(θ)

                    =       0  · cos(θ)    -      -1  · sin(θ)

                    =              0           -           -sin(θ)

                    =                         + sin(θ)

sin (180° - θ) = sin(θ)  \checkmark

An 11-inch string is cut into 3 equal pieces. Which expression shows the length of each piece?
slega [8]
Sense this string would only be 11 (in), and we are cutting it into 3 pieces, this would show us that we would then be dividing the 11 (in) string into 3 pieces. The expression would be below.

\boxed{11\div3}
