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....

HELP PLEASE <br> 5/12-(x-3)/6≤(x-2)/3<br> Solve with a step by step solution
zlopas [31]

Answer:x>3 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

5/12-(x-3)/6 <(x-2)/3

5/12 *12-(x-3)/6*12<(x-2)/6*12

5-2(x-3)<4(x-2)

5-2x+6<4x-8

-2x+11<4x-8

-2x<4x-19

-6x<-19

-6x(-1)<-19(-1)

6x>19

x>19/6

x>3 1/6

just change all the inequality signs to a x is greater or equal to 3 1/6 and on the rest change to and < and equal sign only put > or equal sign on the last three lines

Find the 2nd term of an arithmetic sequence with t5 = 3 and t7 = 7?
svetlana [45]
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference

t5 = 3 = a + 4d
t7 = 7 = a + 6d

a + 6d - a - 4d = 7 - 3
2d = 4
d = 2

Sub d = 2,
3 = a + 4(2)
a = -5

t2 = a + d
t2 = -5 + 2
t2 = -3
