<span>The problem says that the distance D to the horizon is directly proportional to the square root of the elevation E of the observer, so:
</span>
 The person who is 36 feet above the water ⇒ √36=6 

 A person 49 feet above the water ⇒ √49=7
<span>
 So, by proportions, you have:

 (7/6)x7.4= 8.63 miles

 Therefore, the answer is: </span><span>a person 49 feet above the water can see 8.63 miles</span><span> </span>

2a+3b=5<br> b=a-5 help please
diamong [38]

Answer:

2a + 3b = 5

b = a - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2a + 3b = 5

b = a - 5

You can write this another way:

2a + 3(a-5) = 5 ( I added the second formula in the first one )

Now you gotta factor out:

2a + 3a - 15 = 5

Here im gonna do plus 15

2a + 3a = 20 ==> 5a = 20

Now if you divide by 5, you get: a = 4

Now you can fill in the second formula again

b = a - 5 (ill fill this in now)

b = 4 - 5 = -1

So, this makes:

a = 4 , b = -1

let's one two and three have the following relationships &lt;1and &lt;2 are adjacent right angles &lt;1 and &lt;3 are vertical a
Fed [463]

Answer:

180 Vertical angles are opposite angles that share only a vertex.  Since ∠3 is adjacent to both ∠1 and ∠2, this means that ∠3 shares a side and vertex with both of these angles.

This means that ∠3 and ∠1 form a straight line; this makes them a linear pair, which makes their sum 180°.

Please help me out!​
marishachu [46]

Answer:  g = -4  and   h =1     or   g= -1  and h = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

If two exponents have the same base and are multiplied together,  you will keep the base unchange and add the exponents.  

So looking at the equation, the base is 2 for both and they are raised to the powers  g and h, meaning that if  g and h are added together they have  to equal -3.

So find two numbers that their sum is -3.

For example,  -1 and -2 add up to -3, -4 and 1 add up to -3.
