For this case, we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
 We know the height of the triangle.
 We know the angle between the base of the triangle and the hypotenuse.
 We want to find the base of the triangle.
 For this, we use the following trigonometric relationship:
 tan (70) = 39 / x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = 39 / tan (70)
 x = 14.2 feet
 Answer:
 
The distance between the base of the building and the base of the ladder is:
 
x = 14.2 feet

Answer: The required ratio would be 3 miles : 4 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Speed of a cheetah = 45 miles per hour

So, it means

Distance = 45 miles

Time = 1 hour = 60 minutes

So, the ratio of the distance it travels to the time it takes would be

Distance : Time

45\ miles:60\ minutes\\\\=3\ miles :4\ minutes

Hence, the required ratio would be 3 miles : 4 minutes.

Solve the systems of equation by graphing (Picture provided)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

The following system of linear equations is shown

x + y = 8\\2x + y = 3

These are two different slope lines.

We find the cut points of both lines with the axes.

x + y = 8

Cut with the x axis. (y = 0)

x = 8

Cut with the y axis. (x = 0)

y = 8

...................................................................

2x + y = 3

Cut with the x axis. (y = 0)

2x = 3\\x = 1.5

Cut with the y axis. (x = 0)

y = 3

The solution to this system will be a point for which it is fulfilled that:

x + y - 8 = 2x + y-3

In the image, different graphs with intersections are shown.

Locate among the options, one that shows the two lines of the system of equations according to their intersections with the x and y axes.

Option b is the only one that shows the graph of the lines

x + y = 8\\2x + y = 3

Then, The point of intersection of both lines in the graph is:

(-5, 13)

Therefore the solution of the system of equations is: (-5, 13)

You can verify this by replacing the point in the relationship

x + y - 8 = 2x + y-3\\\\(-5) +13 -8 = 2 (-5) +13 -3\\\\0 = 0

Equality is satisfied

Finally the answer is the option b

Evaluate each expression.<br> 6!=<br> 3! - 21 =<br> 6!/3!=
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 =720

3! - 21 = 3*2*1 - 21 = 6 - 21 = (-15)

\frac{6!}{3!}=\frac{6*5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1}\\\\=6*5*4=120
