<span>Let's first establish "x" for the first piece of steel. The second one is going to be "2x" and the 3rd piece will be 5x+1. Now we can set ou the equation as:
x+2x+5x+1=25 Combine like terms to get:
8x+1=25 Now subtract 1 from both sides to result in:

</span><span>8x=24 Divide 8 into both sides to get:
x=3 inches for the first one. 
I'll let you figure the lengths of the other 2 pieces.</span><span>

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

  1

Step-by-step explanation:

(f+g)(1) = f(1) +g(1) = -1 + 2 = 1

__

The pair (1, -1) in the definition of f tells you f(1) = -1.

The pair (1, 2) in the definition of g tells you g(1) = 2.

Find the angle of depression from the top of a lighthouse, 260 feet above water to a ship that's 270 feet offshore?
expeople1 [14]

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the triangle ABC attached.

Notice that the angle of depression is represented with \alpha.

Knowing that the top of a lighthouse is 260 feet above water and the ship is 270 feet offshore, you can find the value of  \alpha by using arctangent:

\alpha= arctan(\frac{opposite}{adjacent})

In this case you can identify that:

opposite=260\\adjacent=270

Therefore, substuting values into  \alpha= arctan(\frac{opposite}{adjacent}), you get that the angle of depression is:

 \alpha= arctan(\frac{260}{270})\\\\\alpha=43.92\°
