Answer:
120 tries
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try 5 different wires in the first connection.
Then you have 4 wires left, so you try 4 wires in the second connection. Remember, you are now trying 4 wires for each of the first 5, so up to here you already made 4 * 5 tries = 20 tries.
Next you try 3, then 2, then you have 1 left.
Number of tries: 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120
Answer: 120 tries
Answer:
right angle ( right )
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagoras' theorem only works for right-angled triangles, so you can use it to test whether a triangle has a right angle or not. In the triangle above, if a 2 < b 2 + c 2 the angle is acute.
Since the problem is not telling us the height of Silvio, we are going to assume it is not relevant for our calculations.
Let

the altitude of the incoming plane. We know for our problem that the distance between Silvio and the tower is 3 miles, Also we know that the angle of elevation to the plane is 40°. With this information we can create a triangle as shown in the figure. We need a function that relates the angle of elevation with its opposite and adjacent sides, that function is tangent.




We can conclude that we should use the trig function tangent to model this situation; also, we can conclude that the equation that describes this situation is
