Katen [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The height of the lighthouse is 742.5\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h -----> the height of the lighthouse

we know that

The tangent of angle of 68 degrees is equal to divide the height of the lighthouse by the horizontal distance from the buoy to the base of lighthouse

so

tan(68\°)=\frac{h}{300}

Solve for h

h=(300)tan(68\°)=742.5\ ft

Explain how you would use a number line to find to find the absolute value of-12
victus00 [196]
So a absolute value is just the opposite of the value given, (unless it is a positive number) so you start on -12 and count 24 units to the right so it would make positive 12

Refer to the image i couldnt copy it so the image is the quesstion<br><br> answer in true or false
Irina18 [472]

The sign of "b" on the numerator should be negative. So we conclude that the correct option is false.

<h3>Is the equation in the image correct or incorrect?</h3>

For a quadratic equation of the form:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

By using the Bhaskara's formula, the solutions of the equation:

0 = a*x^2 + b*x + c

Are given by the formula:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}

Notice that the sign of the first term on the numerator should be negative, while on the image it is positive.

So the equation shown in the image is incorrect.

a flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest side and the third side is 19 feet mor
Neporo4naja [7]

Let's assume

shorter side as x

so, first side =2x

third side =x+19

now, we can find perimeter of triangle

perimeter of any triangle is

first side + shortest side + third side

so, we get

P=2x+x+x+19

we are given perimeter=187

so, we can set it to 187

and then solve for x

187=2x+x+x+19

187=4x+19

4x+19-19=187-19

4x=168

x=42

so,

shortest length is x=42 feet

First side =2x=2*42=84feet

third side =x+19=42+19=61 feet

so, dimensions are

first side is 42 feet

second side is 84 feet

third side is 61 feet................Answer

Rasek [7]

Polygon Diagonals. The number of diagonals in a polygon = n(n-3)/2, where n is the number of polygon sides. For a convex n-sided polygon, there are n vertices, and from each vertex you can draw n-3 diagonals, so the total number of diagonals that can be drawn is n(n-3).
