Answer:

336.7 yards away from the cabin....

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle 30.7° is also the angle of the upper interior angle of the triangle (near the cabin)

Use the tan function:

opposite = 200 yards

adjacent = x

tan(30.7°) = (opposite / adjacent)

tan(30.7°) = 200 yards/x

x * tan(30.7°) = 200 yards

x = 200 yards/ tan(30.7°)

x= 200/ 0.594

x = 336.7 yards.

336.7 yards away from the cabin....

Find the zeros of 7=x^2-8x-3 by completing the square
enot [183]

Using the completing the square method, for the equation, we have the zeros as <u>x = √26 + 4 and x = 4 - √26</u>

<h3>How can the zeros be found using completing the square method?</h3>

The given equation is presented as follows

7 = \mathbf{ {x}^{2}  - 8x - 3}

Which, by completing the square, gives;

{x}^{2}  - 8x - 3 - 7 = 0

{x}^{2}  - 8x - 10 = 0

{x}^{2}  - 8x  +   {\left(\frac{8}{2} \right) }^{2} - 10  -  {\left(\frac{8}{2} \right) }^{2} = 0

\mathbf{{(x - 4)}^{2} }   =26

The zeros of the equation;

7 =  {x}^{2}  - 8x - 3

are;

\underline{x = \pm \sqrt{26}  + 4}

If the volume of the crystal ball is about 113.14 cm3, the radius of the ball is approximately
stellarik [79]

Answer:

r ≅ 3.00

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to get the formula for finding the volume of sphere. The formula  is:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

Now to find for the radius, we need to input the value that we know into the formula.

113.14=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

Now we multiply both sides by 3/4.

\frac{3}{4}x113.14=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

84.86=\pi r^{3}

Now divide both sides by π.

\frac{84.86}{\pi}=\frac{\pi r^{3}}{\pi}

27.01=r^{3}

To find r, we finally get the cube root of both sides.

\sqrt[3]{r^{3} }= \sqrt[3]{27.01}

r ≅ 3.00

Mademuasel [1]
Answer:
115.2 other solutions is 576/5, 115 1/5
Step by step explanation:
To divide by a fraction, multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction
2.4 x (12 x 4)
Then multiply 12 and 4 which is 48
2.4 x 48
Then multiply 2.4 x 48
which is 115.2
