To solve this exercise, you must follow the proccedure below:

 1. You have:

 Tan(α)=Opposite/Adjacent

 α is the angle of depression (α=14°).
 Adjacent=532 feet
 Opposite=x

 2. When you substitute these values into Tan(α)=Opposite/Adjacent, you obtain:

 Tan(α)=Opposite/Adjacent
 Tan(14°)=x/532

 3. Now, you must clear "x", as below:

 x=(532)(Tan(14°))
 x=132.64 feet

Because 5 out of the 8 marbles are yellow or red, the probability of choosing one of them is \frac{5}{8}.

I hope this helps!

What is the value of x in the equation 3-2x--15x?<br><br> 6<br> 2<br> 2<br> 6
Wittaler [7]

Consider the given equation is 3-2x=15 and one of the 6 in the options is -6.

Given:

The equation is

3-2x=15

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We have,

3-2x=15

Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

3-2x-3=15-3

-2x=12

Divide both sides by -2.

x=\dfrac{12}{-2}

x=-6

Therefore, the value of x is -6.
