Solution:
use the trigonometric function which is tangent
tangent is equal to opposite/hypotenuse
the angle is 11 degrees
28 foot will be your opposite
your hypotenuse is the missing

tan(11 degrees)=28 foot/ hypotenuse
hypotenuse= [28 foot/ (tan 11 degrees)]
hypotenuse = 98.8 feet

which of the following properties could be used to rewrite the expression (2/3•1/5)•5/2 as 2/3•(5/2•(5/2•1/5) sorry to ask Su ma
slamgirl [31]
The original expression is given by:
 ( \frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{5})*\frac{5}{2}
 The correct way to rewrite the expression is given by:
 \frac{2}{3}*(\frac{5}{2}*\frac{1}{5})

 For this, we use two properties:

 Associative property:
 The way of grouping the factors does not change the result of the multiplication:
 \frac{2}{3}*(\frac{1}{5}*\frac{5}{2})

 Commutative property:
 
The order of the factors does not vary the product:
 \frac{2}{3}*(\frac{5}{2}*\frac{1}{5})

An online furniture store sells chairs for $50 each and tables for $550 each. Every day, the store can ship a maximum of 32 piec
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

you have to sell 6 tables to meet all requirements

Step-by-step explanation:

chairs=$50x

tables=$550x

24 chairs×50= $1200

4100-1200= $2900

take $2900 and divide by $550 to find the exact number of tables which is 5 but selling 5 tables and 24 chairs doesnt reach the $4100 mark so I rounded up to 6 tables which doesnt surpass the maximum number of furniture(32) but beats the $4100 mark

X + 2y = 5<br>3x + 5y = 14<br>Solve the system of equations.<br>(3.1)<br>(7.-1)<br>(2.3/2)​
son4ous [18]

Answer:

(3,1) because x is 3 and y is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2y=5

3x+5y=14

Multiply first equation by 3:

3x+6y=15

3x+5y=14

Subtract 3x:

1y=1

Therefore, y = 1

Plug it back into 1st equation:

x+2(1)=5

x+2=5

Therefore, x = 3

Judging from your answers, it looks like (3,1) because x is 3 and y is 1.

I hope this helped!
