Answer:

approx. 24.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

x=the distance of the fire from the base of the tower

200ft=the height of the tower

7 degrees=the angle of depression

Using these values you can draw a diagram that highlights that you need to use trig. to work out the answer.

Using Tan:

Tan 7=x/200 ft

multiply both sides by 200 ft

200*tan 7=24.55691218

approx. 24.6 ft

Which of the following is the correct solution to the linear inequality shown below?
Georgia [21]
Correct answer is C.

Line y=\frac{1}{3}x-2 intersects y-axis at -2 and passes through the point (3,-1).

Line must be dashed, because the inequality sign is ">".

Point (0,0) must lie in the solution set because it satisfies inequality y>\frac{1}{3}x-2.

0\ \textgreater \  \frac{1}{3}\times 0-2
\\
\\0\ \textgreater \ -2

4/9+(x-1)=28/9-(x-7x)+1
k0ka [10]

4/9 + (x-1) = 28/9 - (x-7x) + 1

4/9 + x - 1 = 28/9 - x + 7x + 1

-5/9 + x = 37/9 + 6x

-5x = 42/9

-5x = 4.6 (repeating 6)

x = -0.93 (repeating 3)

Hope this helps! ;)

If < A and < B are vertical angles, and < A = 2x - 11 degrees, and < B = x + 7 degrees, find x.
Tema [17]

Answer:

x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent. This means that they are equal to each other. So, to solve set them equal to each other and isolate x. First, set up the equation. Then, subtract x from both sides. Finally, add 11 to both sides and simplify.

1) 2x-11=x+7

2) x-11=7

3)x=18
