Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side.

If d is the distance between the earth and the sun, then:

tan x = y / d

Solving for d:

d = y / tan x

Very nice Question! Please be careful during each step:

1) First fill 5 liter bucket, and transfer it's water to 3 liter. Fill 3-liter bucket completely from it, so now you have 2 liter water in 5 liter bucket.

2) Now, empty 3 liter bucket, & transfer that 2 liter water from 5 liter bucket to it.
Now, you have an empty 5 liter bucket + 2 liter water in 3 liter bucket.

3) Now, fill 5 liter bucket completely, and fill 3-liter bucket completely, which had 1 liter space empty, so, Now, you have 5 - 1 = 4 liter in 5 liter bucket.

You Got that!! Congrats!! If You 're thirsty by that hard work, then you can drink that water, if it is clean!! :)

Hope this helps!

ANEK [815]

Hey there! The answer will be below

B is the correct answer

Because in B the last 3 numbers are 500 (estimate) so 34,500 would be rounded to 35,000.Plus B makes the most sense.

Hope that helps!

Rename 5/6 and 5/8 using the least common denominator.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

5/6 = 20/24

5/8 = 15/24

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the answers because:

1) First, the least common denominator is 24 because 8 x 3 is 24 and 6 x 4 is 24

2) Next, multiply the numerators with the same number you multiplied with the denominator

5 x 3 = 15

5 x 4 = 20

3) Therefore, the answers are:

5/6 = 20/24

5/8 = 15/24

Hope this helps!
