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

Which equation can be used to find the length of ? (10)sin(40o) = AC (10)cos(40o) = AC = AC = AC
katovenus [111]
The complete question in the attached figure

we know that

sin40° = opposite side / hypotenuse
opposite side =AC
hypotenuse = AB-------> 10 in
so
sin 40=AC/AB---------> AC=AB*sin 40-------> AC=10*sin 40

the answer is
AC=10*sin 40

Solve the equation 5x-2x^2+1
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you call "5x-2x^2+1" an "equation," then you must equate 5x-2x^2+1 to 0:

5x-2x^2+1 = 0

This is a quadratic equation.  Rearranging the terms in descending order by powers of x, we get:

-2x^2 + 5x + 1 = 0.  Here the coefficients are a = -2, b = 5 and c = 1.

Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

First find the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac:  25 - 4(-2)(1) = 25 + 8 = 33

Because the discriminant is positive, the roots of this quadratic are real and unequal.

                                                             -b ± √(discriminant)

Applying the quadratic formula   x = --------------------------------

                                                                         2a

we get:

      -5 ± √33           -5 + √33

x = ----------------- = --------------------- and

           2(-2)                     -4

                                  -5 - √33

                                 ---------------

                                         -4

Christian randomly selects students from his grade to rate a math test as easy, moderate, or difficult. Of the students he surve
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students he surveyed: 27

Amount that found it something OTHER than easy: 14 (11 moderate + 3 difficult)

This means that \frac{14}{27} found it something other than easy

Multiply that by 162 to find the proportion for the larger population:

162 * (14/27), and we get 84.
