Answer:

21 feet (20.977)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Draw a picture, it makes it much easier. Draw a right triangle with the vertical labeled 25 and the horizontal labeled X, then label the angle adjacent to the horizontal and hypotenuse 40°

2. Use tangent because X is opposite of 40 and 25 is adjacent to angle 40. the equation would be Tan40/1 = X/25

3. You then cross multiply to get 25Tan(40) = X

4 You then plug it into a calculator and get the full answer of 20.97749078, but I always round up to either 20.98 or 21 feet, whatever your teacher allows

Slope is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope formula y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) → (1,2) and (3,3)

Don’t Identify- 278.98
Female- 450.66

Considering these are people, you probably will need to round either up or down. If you round it would be:

Don’t Identify- 279

What is the value of x?<br><br> a. 71°<br> b. 142°<br> c. 152°<br> d. 76°
alexgriva [62]
The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides.
The angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent.
Just like the bottom left angle measures x, the bottom right angle also measures x.

x + x + 38 = 180

2x + 38 = 180

2x = 142

x = 71
