4 0

Answer:

Approximately 485 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first construct a right triangle, using the 500 m length of hill as our hypotenuse. Using the fact that the cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, we see that

\cos{15^\circ}=\frac{x}{500}

where x is the horizontal distance covered. Solving for x, we find this horizontal distance to be

x=500\cos{15^\circ}\approx500(0.97)=485

so our answer is approximately 485 m.

Goat on a Rope
mariarad [96]

Answer:

the area of grass is 314 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the circle the goat can reach is given by the length of the rope that ties the goat to the post (10 ft)

Then the area of the circle is: Area=\pi\,R^2=3.14\,(10\,\,ft)^2=3.14 * (100)\,ft^2=314 \,\,ft^2

So the area of grass is 314 square feet

Rewrite the equation by completing the square.<br> x^2+ 12x + 36 = 0
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

(x+6)^2 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+ 12x + 36 = 0

Subtract 36 from each side

x^2+ 12x + 36-36 = 0-36

x^2 +12x = -36

Take the coefficient of x

12

Divide by 2

12/2 =6

Square it

6^2 =36

Add this to each side

x^2+ 12x + 36 = -36+36

(x+12/2)^2 = 0

(x+6)^2 =0
