Let the distance from the engineer to the base of the building be x, then
tan 22 = 450/x
x = 450/tan 22 = 1,113.79

Therefore the distance from the engineer to the base of the building to the nearest foot = 1,114 feet

Determine whether the value given below is from a discrete or continuous data set. The volume of cola in a can is 11.5 oz. Nothi
AnnyKZ [126]

Volume will represent a continuous data set.

Why? <em>because you can have any measurement (1 oz, 0.1 oz, 0.001 oz, etc)</em>

A discrete data set is when you cannot have a "part" of the whole.  An example would be if the data set is the number of people ... you can't have 1/2 of a person.  Another example would be a product (tv, laptop, etc) ... you can't have a part of the product.  you either have 1 or 2 or 3, etc.

Answer: Continuous

The length of a garden box is 6 feet longer than 4times the width. If the length of the garden box is 22 feet, what is the width
erica [24]

Answer:

Width of the garden box = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of garden box = 22 feet

Let,

w be the width of garden box

It is also given that:

The length of a garden box is 6 feet longer than 4 times the width.

L = 4w + 6

Putting L = 22

22 = 4w + 6

22 - 6 = 4w

4w = 16

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4w}{4}=\frac{16}{4}\\w=4

Hence,

Width of the garden box = 4 feet
