check the picture below.


make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.

now, Charlie's eyes are 5.2' from the ground, however the distance from his eyes over the horizontal and the ground over the horizontal, is the same, so taking the tan(32°) at his eyes level will give that horizontal distance.

Find the range of ƒ(x) = 3g – 5 for the domain {–1.5, 2, 4}
timofeeve [1]
-1.5 ------ f(x) = 3(-1.5) - 5
= -4.5 -5
= 9.5

2 -------- f(x) = 3(2) - 5
= 6 -5
= 1

4 -------- f(x) = 3(4) - 5
= 12 - 5
= 7
(9.5, 1 , 7)

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

r≈5.36656314

Step-by-step explanation:

Since A=πr(r+\sqrt{h^2+r^2}) so we get that 226.08/pi≈72 or 226.08/3.14=72 we then plug it in to get 72=r(r+\sqrt{36+r^2}) so we get r≈5.36656314
