\tan( \alpha )  \:  =  \:  \frac{h}{b}
\alpha  \:  =  \:  {22}^{0}
h \:  =  \: 450 \: ft
Therefore,
b \:  =  \: h \cot( \alpha )
b \:  =  \: 450  \: ft \:  \times  \:  \cot( {22}^{0} )
b = 450 ft × 2.47508685
b = 1,113.78908 ft
or,
b ≈ 1,114 ft.

Answer:

The rental fee is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost = rental fee plus cost per hours * number hours

t = f + 8*h  where t = total cost, f = rental fee, h = hours

73 = f + 8*6

73 = f+ 48

Subtract 48 from each side

73 - 48 = f+48-48

25 = f

The rental fee is 25

= 4x^2-4x+1. = x-2x^2-2+4x

= -2x^2+5x-2

(4x^2-4x+1-2x^2+5x-2)

=2x^2+x-1

\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{3}{7}(x-(\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{1}{3}x))=x\\\frac{3}{7}(x-(\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{1}{3}x))=27\\\frac{3}{7}(x-(\frac{1}{2}x))=27\\\frac{3}{7}(\frac{1}{2}x)=27\\x=126
