Answer:

520 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to visualize this problem is to sketch a quick diagram.

For this problem, you are given an angle and the length of the side of a triangle. If you look at the diagram, you'll see that the length given is the opposite side of the angle given. For this situation, that means you will use the sine function (refer to SOH-CAH-TOA acronym). Then you plug in the given values and solve for x.

Hope this helps!

Find the indicated limit, if it exists. limit of f of x as x approaches 0 where f of x equals 5x minus 8 when x is less than 0 a
vlabodo [156]
The limit does not exist. Why? Because the left hand limit DOES NOT equal the right hand limit. Let’s double check:

We could use -0.000001 to represent the left hand limit. This is less than 0. We plug in 5x - 8

5(-0.000001) - 8
-0.000005 - 8
-8.000005
If we would continue the limit (extend the zeros to infinity), we would get exactly
-8
That is our left hand limit.

Our right hand limit will be represented by 0.000001. This is greater than 0. We plug in abs(-4 - x)

abs(-4 - (0.000001))
abs(-4.000001)
4.000001
If we would continue the limit (extend the zeros to infinity), we would get exactly
4

4 does not equal -8, therefore

The limit does not exist

Consider to circular swimming pools.Pool A has a radius of 12 feet and Pool B has a diameter of 7.5 meters which pool has a grea
mamaluj [8]

C = Pi * d  where C = circumference, d = diameter, r = radius

C = 2*pi *r

we need to watch the units since they are different

Pool A

C = 2 * pi * r

C = 2 * pi * 12  = 24 * pi  in feet


Pool B

C = pi * d

change meters to feet

7.5 m * 3.28 ft/ 1 m  = 24.6 ft

C = pi * 24.6  = 24.6* pi  in ft


Pool B had a greater circumference

24.6 * pi > 24 pi
