Answer:

485 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the distance from the base of the building to the base of the radio tower

Let

x -----> the distance from the base of the building to the base of the radio

we know that

tan(36°)=254/x

x=254/tan(36°)=349.60 ft

step 2

Find the distance from the base of the tree to the base of the radio tower

Let

x -----> the distance from the base of the tree to the base of the radio tower  

we know that

tan(62°)=254/x

x=254/tan(62°)=135.05 ft

step 3

Find the distance from the base of the building to the base of the tree

Adds the distances

349.60 ft+135.05 ft=484.65 ft

Round to the nearest foot

484.65 ft=485 ft

X2 – 1x – 90 = 0 has solutions {a, b}. What is a + b?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a + b =1

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the given quadratic as x^2 – 1x – 90 = 0.  This factors into

(x - 10)(x + 9) = 0, and so the roots/solutions are {-9, 10}.

If we call -9 "a" and 10 "b," then the sum a + b is -9 + 10, or a + b =1.

Eva is working two summer jobs, making $16 per hour tutoring and $8 per hour clearing tables. Last week Eva worked 3 times as ma
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

48 and 32 6 hours clearing tables and 2 hours tutoring

Step-by-step explanation:

we can rewrite this as a fraction. we will use 1/10s because 80 can be divided by 8 which is in the problem. we then have to find out what two numbers add up to 8 but one is 3 times the other. 6 and 2 fit into this problem so we plug it into the equation and we write it as this 6x+4x=80 where x is 8. we get 48 and 32.

If nx10^p is a positive number written in scientific notation which statements must be true? Select all that apply
liq [111]

For this case we have the following number written in scientific notation:


n * 10 ^ p

We know that this number is greater than zero because it is a positive number.

Therefore, the following statements are true:

p ∈ (-∞, ∞)

n must be between 1 and 10

n ∈ [1, 10]

Answer:

The following statements are correct about the number written in scientific notation:

p ∈ (-∞, ∞)

n ∈ [1, 10]
