Answer:

  384.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the trig relation involving sides adjacent and opposite the angle. Here, the road distance is adjacent to the angle of depression, and the altitude is opposite. So, you have ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(7.5°) = (300 ft)/(distance to car 1)

  tan(9°) = (300 ft)/(distance to car 2)

Solving for the distances, we have ...

  distance to car 1 = (300 ft)/tan(7.5°) ≈ 2278.73 ft

  distance to car 2 = (300 ft)/tan(9°) ≈ 1894.13 ft

Then the separation between the cars is ...

  distance apart = 2278.73 ft - 1894.13 ft

  distance apart = 384.6 ft

X+y=1<br> x+3y=9<br><br> Solve<br> (First answer gets brainliest)
Firdavs [7]
X + y = 1
x + 3y = 9

Subtract the second equation from the first.
-2y = -8
divide both sides by -2
y = 4

Plug 4 back into either equation and solve for x.
x + y = 1
x + 4 = 1
subtract 4 from each side
x = -3

The drama club is selling T-shirts and caps to raise money for a spring trip. The caps sell for $5.00 each, and the T-shirts sel
Zinaida [17]

The required inequality is 5x+10y\geq 500

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Cost of 1 cap = $ 5

Cost of 1 t-shirt = $ 10

Let "x" be the number of caps sold

Let "y" be the number of t-shirts sold

The drama club needs to raise at least $500.00 for the trip

Based on this information, we can frame a inequality as:

number of caps sold x cost of 1 cap + number of shirts sold x cost of 1 shirt \geq 500

Which means,

x \times 5 + y \times 10\geq 500\\\\5x + 10y\geq 500

Here we used "greater than or equal to" symbol , because club needs to raise at least $ 500

They can raise 500 or more than $ 500 also

Thus the required inequality is 5x+10y\geq 500

What are the next three terms in the sequence 1, 7, 13, 19, ... ?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The next three terms in the sequence are: 25,31, 37

The required sequence is: 1, 7, 13, 19,25,31, 37

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the next three terms in the sequence 1, 7, 13, 19, ...

First we need to find the difference between the terms

If we observe:

First term ; 1

Second term is : 1+6 = 7

Third term is: 7+6 = 13

Fourth term is: 13+6 = 19

So adding 6 to previous term we can find the next term as observed by the pattern

Fifth term will be: 19+6 = 25

Sixth term will be: 25+6 = 31

Seventh term will be: 31+6 = 37

So, the next three terms in the sequence are: 25,31, 37

The required sequence is: 1, 7, 13, 19,25,31, 37
