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

IceJOKER [234]
Answer:

(x + 2) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Before looking at my explanation make sure next time you are going to ask another question write the numbers that include exponents like this: x^2 instead of x2

Factor out x^2:

x + x

Factor out 6x:

Since it is in the bx form we’ll need two numbers be add so it can be equivalent to 6x

Answer: 4 and 2

Factor out 8:

4 x 2

Now start with the 8 and 6x

(? + 4) + (? + 2)

Then finish it off with x

(x + 4) (x + 2)

Answer:

41 + 23 = 64 of the events have outcome E.

An additional 35 + 10 = 45 do not.

The probability of an outcome of E is 64 out of a total of 64+45 = 109 events.

  P(E) = 64/109 ≈ 0.5872
