<u>Given</u>:

The lines AB and CD, on horizontal ground.

The height of AB is 500 m.

The height of CD is 350 m.

The angle of elevation of B from D is 30°

We need to determine the distance AC.

<u>Length of BE:</u>

Let us construct a line that is parallel to AC.

Let the line be ED.

The length of BE is given by

BE=AB-AE

BE=500-350

BE=150

Thus, the length of BE is 150 m

<u>Length of ED:</u>

The length of ED can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.

Thus, we have;

tan \ 30^{\circ}=\frac{ED}{BE}

Substituting the values, we get;

         \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}=\frac{ED}{150}

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\times 150=ED

     50\sqrt{3}=ED

Thus, the length of ED is 50√3 m

<u>Length of AC:</u>

From the figure, it is obvious that the sides ED and AC have the equal length.

Thus, we have;

AC = ED = 50√3

Simplifying, we get;

AC=50 \times 1.732

AC=86.6 \ m

Hence, the length of AC is 86.6 m

Which number produces an irrational number when multiplied by 1/3
MArishka [77]

We can simply observe that.

  1. 0.777... is rational, because it is a number with infinite but repeating decimal part.
  2. 1/3 is rational, because it's the division between two integers
  3. -\sqrt{16}=-4, so this is rational as well.

Since the product of two rational numbers is always rational, we have that

0.\bar{7}\cdot \dfrac{1}{3},\quad \dfrac{1}{3}\cdot \dfrac{1}{3},\quad -4\cdot \dfrac{1}{3}

are all rationals, since they are the product of two rationals.

On the other hand, we have

\sqrt{27}=\sqrt{9\cdot 3}=3\sqrt{3}

and thus

3\sqrt{3}\cdot \dfrac{1}{3}=\sqrt{3}

which is irrational.

Answer:

Female=14 male=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Oof this toke long I understand it now, for yesterday you gotta do  6+6+6+6+6=30 this is the male and so you add 14 to 30=44, now comes the important part of solving this problem. For today you gotta add 4 men and 4 women so you do 6+6+6+6=24 now 14+14+14+14=56 and if you add 56+24=80 .

Chad is getting balloons for his grandmothers birthday party. He wants each balloon string to be 6 feet long. At The party store
finlep [7]

Answer: 258 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Chad wants each balloon string to be 6 feet long, and Chad wants to get 43 balloons, the number of yards of string that he will need will be calculated by multiplying 43 by 6. This will be:

= 43 × 6

= 258 yards of string
