107.75m
This is a trigonometric ratio problem. the angle of depression (10) is opposite the height (19m) and the distance is adjacent to the distance (x). opposite ad adjacent sides to the angle is a tangent problem.
tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}
plus in values, we know.
tan (10) = \frac{19}{x}
switch tan(10) and x using the products property.
x = \frac{19}{tan (10)}
plug in to calulator to get answer
x=107.75

Answer:

<h2>96 and 48</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we have to find the largest possible greatest common factor, which is 48.

Now, numbers 96 and 48 have as Greatest Common Factor 48, that's the largest number possible that is common to both numbers because

48/48 = 1

96/48 = 2

Therefore, the answer is 96 and 48, because they don't have repetitive digits.

What is the value of x in the equation 4x + 8y = 40, when y = 0.8?
storchak [24]
To find your answer you must substitute y for 0.8
4x + (8)(0.8) = 40
Now solve for x
====================================================================
SOLVING...

<span>4x + (8)(0.8) = 40
</span><span>4x + 6.4 </span>= <span>40
</span>
Subtract 6.4 from each side
<span><span><span>4x</span>+ 6.4 </span>− 6.4 </span>= <span>40 − <span>6.4
</span></span>4x = 33.6

Divide each side by 4
4x ÷ 4 = 33.6 ÷ 4
x = 8.4
