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 graph shows the solution set for |x - 3| &lt; 4?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

|x - 3| < 4

To remove the absolute values, we need to make two inequalities, one positive and one negative

x-3 < 4     and     x-3 > -4

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3<4+3     and  x-3+3 > -4+3

x<7        and        x >-1

-1 <x <7
