Answer:

The height of tower is 322.7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance between a building and tower= 250 feet

BCDE is a rectangle .Therefore, we have  BC=ED and CD=BE=250 feet

In triangle ABE

tan\theta=\frac{perpendicula \; side }{hypotenuse}

\theta=38^{\circ}

tan38^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{BE}

\frac{AB}{250}=0.781

AB=0.781\times250

AB=195.25 feet

In triangle EDC

\theta=27^{\circ}

tan27^{\circ}=\frac{ED}{CD}

\frac{ED}{250}=0.509

ED=250\times0.509

ED=127.25 feet

ED=BC=127.25 feet

The height of tower=AB+BC

The height of tower=195.25+127.25=322.5 feet

A regular hexagon is shown.

Since the triangle will be a 30-60-90, because 360°/6 = 60° for each central angle, then that is bisected to find the height of each of the 6 equilateral triangles. This height is the same as the apothem.
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the sides are is the ratio of:
x \:  \\ x \sqrt{3} \\ and \: 2x
where x is opposite the 30° and 2x is opposite the 90°
Since the base is 10 and the hypotenuse is 10, 1/2 that is 5 (the x), and so:
x \sqrt{3}  = 5 \sqrt{3}  = 8.66
So rounded up, you apothem then is closest to D) 9 in.

A pan is heated to 409°F, then removed from the heat and allowed to cool in a kitchen where the room temperature is a constant 7
Irina18 [472]

Answer: C. 265.9^{\circ}F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The formula below can be used to find D, the difference in temperature between the pan and the room after t minutes.

D = 338e^{-0.03t}

At t= 8 minutes, we get

D = 338e^{-0.03(8)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ D = 338e^{-0.24}\\\\\Rightarrow\ D = 338(0.786627861067)\\\\\Rightarrow\ D = 265.88\approx265.9^{\circ}F

The approximate temperature of the pan after it has been away from the heat for 8 minutes=   265.9^{\circ}F

The grandma of a 6-year-old is asking them 2x3 what is 2x3
Anton [14]

Answer:

The answer of 2 x 3 would be 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why 2 x 3 or 2 times 3 would be six/6. Is because if you had 2 pairs of 3 items, you would get a total of 6 items. And if you had 3 pairs of 2 items, you would still have a total of 6 items.
