Answer: The tall cliff is 118.20 feet tall and the short cliff is 70.32 feet tall.

If you draw a picture with 2 cliffs and a river in the middle, you have find 2 right triangles. In each triangle the adjacent side to our known angle is the river of 90 feet. And the unknown side is the opposite leg.

Therefore, we can set up a tangent equation.

From the top of the short cliff to the top of the tall cliff, we can right and solve the following trig equation:

tan(28) = x /90
x = 47.88

From the top of the short cliff to the bottom, we can right and solve the following trip equation.

tan(38) = x/90
x = 70.32

The 70.32 is also the height of the short cliff. And adding the two answers together will give you the height of the tall cliff.

1. Divide<br> (7x2 - 13x+4) - (x-1<br> )
stellarik [79]

Answer:7 x 2 − 14 x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1 In general, given a{x}^{2}+bx+cax

Jamie wants to know the volume of his gold ring in cubic centimeters. He gets a rectangular glass with a base
mixer [17]

Answer:

1.50 cm^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ring will displace its own volume of water.

The increase in height of the water = 4.25 - 4 = 0.25 cm.

Therefore the increase in the volume =  area of the base of the glass * 0.25

= 3 * 2 * 0.25

=  6 * 0.25

= 1.50 cm^3.

This is also the volume of the ring.

For which equations below is x = -3 a possible solution? Select three options.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

x=-3

|-x| = 3

|x| = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If a number is a solution of a equation, then the number must satisfy the equation

<em>Verify each case</em>

case 1) we have

x=3

substitute the value of x=-3

-3=3 -----> is not true

therefore

x=-3 is not a solution of the given equation

case 2) we have

x=-3

substitute the value of x=-3

-3=-3 -----> is true

therefore

x=-3 is  a solution of the given equation

case 3) we have

|-x| = 3

substitute the value of x=-3

|-(-3)| = 3

|3| = 3

3=3-----> is true

therefore

x=-3 is a solution of the given equation

case 4) we have

|x| = 3

substitute the value of x=-3

|(-3)| = 3

3=3-----> is true

therefore

x=-3 is a solution of the given equation

case 5) we have

-|x| = 3

substitute the value of x=-3

-|(-3)| = 3

-3=3-----> is not true

therefore

x=-3 is not a solution of the given equation
