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 this number in standard form?
attashe74 [19]

The number (7×100)+(4×1/100)+(8×1/1,000) in standard form is 7.0048 × 10²

<h3>How to write number in standard form?</h3>

The number can be represented in standard form as follows:

(7 × 100) + (4 × 1/100)+(8 × 1/1,000)

Therefore,

7 × 100 = 700 = 7 × 10²

4 × 1/100 = 4 × 10⁻²

8 × 1/1,000 = 8 × 10⁻³

Therefore,

7 × 10² + 4 × 10⁻² + 8 × 10⁻³ = 700.048 = 7.0048 × 10²
