Answer:

  34 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between adjacent and opposite sides of a right triangle and the trig function of the associated angle. Here, the relevant relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(10°) = (height of lifeguard)/(distance from shore)

Then the distance from shore is ...

  distance from shore = (height of lifeguard)/tan(10°) ≈ (6 ft)/(0.17633)

  distance from shore ≈ 34 ft

The length of a rectangle is five times its width.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

l = 5w

A = l*w

180 = 5w *w

180 = 5w^2

Divide each side by 5

180/5 = 5w^2 /5

36 = w^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(36) = sqrt(w)^2

6 =w

l = 5w = 5*6 = 30

The perimeter is

P = 2(l+w)

P = 2(6+30) = 2(36) = 72

Solve the following system of equations.express your answer as an ordered pair in the format (a,b) with no spaces between the nu
frosja888 [35]

Answer: (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this set of system of equations, let's use elimination method to find x and y. Let's eliminate y first. In order to do so, the y values have to be the same. Therefore, you multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by 4.

9x+12y=51

-16x-12y=-72

Now, we can add the 2 equations together for the y to cancel out.

-7x=-21

x=3

Since we know x, we can plug it into any of the equations to find y.

3(3)+4y=17

9+4y=17

4y=8

y=2

With out x and y value, we can put them into an ordered pair. (3,2)
