No, the question is stating the product of a number (the variable n represents the number) and 10 is 142. In other words, 10 times another number is 142. Hence, the answer would be A.
Unfortunately there isn't enough information.
Check out the diagram below. We have segment BC equal to 120 meters long. Points B, C, D and E are all on the edge of the same circle. According to the inscribed angle theorem, angles BDC and BEC are congruent. This shows that the surveyor could be at points D or E, or the surveyor could be anywhere on the circle. There are infinitely many locations for the surveyor to be at, which leads to infinitely many possible widths of this canal.
Answer:
≈ 35.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The model is a right triangle with ladder being the hypotenuse and the angle between the ground and the ladder is 70°
Using the cosine ratio, with l being the length of the ladder.
cos70° =
=
( multiply both sides by l )
l × cos70° = 12 ( divide both sides by cos70° )
l =
≈ 35.1 ( to the nearest tenth )
The ladder is approx 35.1 ft long
