With this, we should remember SOHCAHTOA (Sine: Opposite over Hypotenuse, Cosine: Adjacent over Hypotenuse, and Tangent: Opposite over Adjacent).

Using the image attached, we know that we should use Sine, because we know the hypotenuse (100 feet) and we want to know the height, or the Opposite (h).

So, we use: sin(48)=h/100 and we multiply both sides by 100 to get:

100sin(48)=h

Now, we just plug the numbers into a calculator. (Make sure your calculator is set to Degrees, or "Deg").

What we get is about 74.3144825... but we can round that to 74.3 feet.

Answer: 74.3 feet.

Find a unit vector that has the same direction as the vector a and the opposite direction of the vector
nasty-shy [4]
The unit vector is given by the following formula:
 a '= (a) / (lal)
 Where,
 a: vector a
 lal: Vector module a
 We are looking for the module:
 lal = root ((- 15) ^ 2 + (8) ^ 2)
 lal = 17
 Same direction:
 a = -15i + 8j
 The unit vector is:
 a '= (1/17) * (- 15i + 8j)
 Opposite direction:
 a = 15i - 8j
 The unit vector is:
 a '= (1/17) * (15i - 8j)
 Answer:
 
a unit vector that has the same direction as the vector a is:
 
a '= (1/17) * (- 15i + 8j)
 
a unit vector that has the opposite direction of the vector a is:
 
a '= (1/17) * (15i - 8j)

Estimate the measure of the angle ​
abruzzese [7]

Answer: C) 65 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: the next highest is 90, but that would have the arrows in the shape of an L, since its closer than that, its lower than 90, so its 65.

Please solve for x. I need this answered.
spin [16.1K]

2.5x - 3 + 2x = 1.75x - 1.25x + 13

4.5x - 3 = 0.50x + 13

4.0x = 16

x = 4

Answer: 4

2. We'll assume those xs are in the numerator

(3/7)x - 1/4 + (3/7)x = (9/7)x - (3/7)x + 3/4 - 1

(6/7)x - 1/4 = (6/7)x  - 1/4

0 = 0

That's always true.

Answer: Any x is a solution.
