You need to <span>draw the diagram to understand the problem easily. Teh diagram will show the right triangle, acute angle with the base  7º, height is 663 m, and "x" is the base of the triangle. 

using the tangent ratio: 

tan</span>Θ = opposite / adjacent
<span>
tan7º = 663 m / x 

x = 663 m / tan7º
x = 5,399.7 m 

change m to km. 1,000 m = 1km

5,399.7m * 1km/1,000 m = 5,399.7 km/1000 = 5.3997 km or 5.4 km

B. 5.4 km </span>

Factor out the greatest common factor <br>-5x^2 - 5x^3 - 15x^4
vaieri [72.5K]
Our answer is -5x^{2} (3x^{2} +x+1)

Our greatest common factor, or GCF, is -5x^{2}, so when we factor is out, our divide each term by -5x^{2}, we get our answer. To check this, we can multiply the -5x^{2} back across the parenthesis and see if we get the same result as our initial question.

Hope this helped! :))

The volume of a gas with a pressure of 1.2 atm increases from 1.0 L to 4.0 L. What is the final pressure of the gas, assuming co
salantis [7]

Answer:

(b) 0.30 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Initial pressure= 1.2atm

Initial volume= 1.0L

Final volume= 4.0L

Final pressure= ???

Let us apply the gas formula to find the Final pressure

P1V1= P2V2

Substitute

1.2*1= x*4

Divide both sides by 4

1.2/4= x

x= 0.3atm

Hence the final pressure is 0.3 atm
