Answer:

219.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

After looking at pic, cross multiply to get x tan(35)=154

Item 8 Solve for x. Use the quadratic formula. 2x2−5x−9=0 Enter the solutions, in simplified radical form, in the boxes.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

5+√97/4

Also 5-√97/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The Quadratic formula is x=-b+-√b^2-4ac/2a

This means that we should plug the values for A B AND C into the formula

We can work out that

<u><em>A = 2</em></u>

<u><em>B=-5</em></u>

<u><em>C=-9</em></u>

Once we have put these into the formula we get

5+√97/4 (all over 4) aka 3.71

Also 5-√97/4 (all over 4) aka -1.21
