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

A direct variation function contains the points (2, 14) and (4, 28). Which equation represents the function?
vitfil [10]
A direct variation has a constant slope, i.e. (y/x)= constant.

Both of the given two points give a slope of (y/x)=14/2=28/4=7, so the equation of the function is
y/x=7, or simply
y=7x

A flower bed has the shape of a rectangle 5 yards long and 4 yards wide. What is its area in square feet?
aalyn [17]
To find the area, use A= bh (base x height), or A = lw (length x width)

There are 3 feet in 1 yard

3 x 5 = 15
4 x 3 = 12

15 x 12 = 180

The flower bed is 180 ft² 

hope this helps

In right triangle ABC, ZC is a right angle, m ZA = 52, AC = 10.01, and AB = c.
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The measurement of AB is 16.25 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In right triangle ABC, ∠C is a right angle, m∠A = 52° , AC = 10.01, and AB = c.

We need to find the measurement of AB.

∠C is a right angle, it means AB is hypotenuse.

In a right angle triangle,

\cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}

\cos A=\dfrac{AC}{AB}

\cos (52^\circ)=\dfrac{10.01}{c}

0.616=\dfrac{10.01}{c}

c=\dfrac{10.01}{0.616}

c=16.25

Hence, the measurement of AB is 16.25 units.
