Answer with explanation:

Height of pole = 5 feet

Angle made by tent on both sides of the ground = 55°

\tan 55^{\circ}=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}\\\\1.428=\frac{5}{B}\\\\B=\frac{5}{1.428}\\\\\text{Base}=3.50

⇒Total Width of tent = 3.50 + 3.50 = 7 feet

Choice 1 : 7 feet

To answer this problem, you need to use SOHCAHTOA.  The pole, the tent, and the ground form a right triangle.  One leg is equal to 5.  The top angle is 55.  You need to find length of the other leg, so use tangent.  

tan55=O/5

O=0.4375

Double this to find the total width of the tent.  0.4375*2=0.875

0.875 (rounds to 1) feet

Hope this helps!!

What is the square root of 4/225
LuckyWell [14K]
2 / 15

This is simpler than you think. Just take the square root of the denominator and of the numerator and stick it back into fraction form. The square root of 4 is 2 and the square root of 225 is 15. Voila: 2 / 15.

To determine if an ordered pair is a solution to a system of linear equations in two variables, __________.
vitfil [10]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

When an ordered pair is a solution to a system of equations in two variables, it must mean that when you plug in the ordered pair into both equations, it must come out true (this is literally the definition of a solution to a system of equation). Technically, A is also facts, but B is a "more inclusive" facts so that's your answer. Hope this helps! :)
