<span>let landmark be at L
ZN = 100, NL = x (say)
tan 54 = (100+x)/H
100 + x = H tan 54 -------------- (1)
------------------------------
tan 61 = H/x ................ [alternate angle]
x = H cot 61 ------------------------- (2)
put x from (2) into (1)
H cot 61 + 100 = H tan 54
H = 100 / [tan 54 -cot 61]
H = 100 / [1.376 - 0.554]
H = 121.65 feet</span><span>

2(5-3v)+9v=28 step by step please

Irina-Kira [14]

First, distribute the 2 across the parenthesis.
10-3v+9v=28
Combine like terms on the left.
10+6v=28
Start to get the numbers on the right and the v alone on the left by moving the 10 to the right.
6v=28-10
6v=18
Divide to get the v alone.
v=3

Hope that helps.

A fence must be built to enclose a rectangular area of 45 comma 000 ftsquared. Fencing material costs $ 3 per foot for the two s

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

150 feet by 300 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fence is to enclose a rectangular area of 45,000 ft squared.

If the dimensions of the rectangle are x and y

Area of a rectangle = xy

xy=45000
$x=\frac{45000}{y}$

Perimeter of the Rectangle =2x+2y

Fencing material costs $ 3 per foot for the two sides facing north and south and $6 per foot for the other two sides.

Cost of Fencing, C=$(6*2x+3*2y)=$(12x+6y)

Substitute $x=\frac{45000}{y}$ into the Cost to get C(y)

C=12x+6y

$C(y)=12(\frac{45000}{y})+6y\\C(y)=\frac{540000+6y^2}{y}$

The value at which the cost is least expensive is at the minimum point of C(y), when the derivative is zero.

$C^{'}(y)=\dfrac{6y^2-540000}{y^2}$

$\dfrac{6y^2-540000}{y^2}=0\\6y^2-540000=0\\6y^2=540000\\y^2=\frac{540000}{6} =90000\\y=\sqrt{90000}=300$

Recall,

$x=\frac{45000}{y}=\frac{45000}{300}=150$

Since x=150, y=300

The dimensions that will be least expensive to build is 150 feet by 300 feet.

If total employee benefits are calculated as a percentage of their gross pay, which of the following employees receives the larg

vlabodo [156]

Consider all employees.

A.

gross pay $32,600 - 100%,
total job benefits $33,600 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{32,600}{33,600}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,600\cdot x=33,600\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,600\cdot 100}{32,600}=\dfrac{33,600}{326} \approx 103.07.$

Employee A receives 3.07% of gross pay in employee benefits.

B.

gross pay $32,900 - 100%,
total job benefits $34,000 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{32,900}{34,000}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,900\cdot x=34,000\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,000\cdot 100}{32,900}=\dfrac{34,000}{329} \approx 103.34.$

Employee B receives 3.34% of gross pay in employee benefits.

C.

gross pay $33,400 - 100%,
total job benefits $33,900 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{33,400}{33,900}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,400\cdot x=33,900\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,900\cdot 100}{33,400}=\dfrac{33,900}{334} \approx 101.50.$

Employee C receives 1.50% of gross pay in employee benefits.

D.

gross pay $33,700 - 100%,
total job benefits $34,700 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{33,700}{34,700}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,700\cdot x=34,700\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,700\cdot 100}{33,700}=\dfrac{34,700}{337} \approx 102.97.$

Employee D receives 2.97% of gross pay in employee benefits.

Answer: correct choice is B.
