Answer:

219.9  feet to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use trigonometry:

tan 35 = opposite / adjacent side

= 154/x

x =  154 / tan35

= 219.93

Answer:

219.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

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

then divide both sides by tan(35) giving x=154/tan(35)

x is approximately 219.9 ft

Factor completely 5xy3 15x3y2 − 30x2y2. 5(xy3 3x3y2 − 6x2y2) 5x(y3 3x2y2 − 6xy2) 5xy2(y 3x2 − 6x) Prime.

Factoring an expression involves rewriting the expression in simplier form

The factored expression of 5xy^3 + 15x^3y^2 - 30x^2y^2 is 5xy^2(y + 3x^2 - 6x)

<h3>How to factor the expression</h3>

The expression is given as:

5xy^3 + 15x^3y^2 - 30x^2y^2

Factor out 5x from the expression

5x(y^3 + 3x^2y^2 - 6xy^2)

Factor out y^2 from the expression

5xy^2(y + 3x^2 - 6x)

Hence, the factored expression of 5xy^3 + 15x^3y^2 - 30x^2y^2 is 5xy^2(y + 3x^2 - 6x)
