Mama L [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

(13x - y)(13x + y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both 169x^2 and y^2 are perfect squares.

The (special) rule for factoring the difference of two squares is

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b).

Therefore,      169x^2 and y^2 = (13x - y)(13x + y)

Answer:

18.7939 m

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let x be the distance between John and clock tower.

-Let y be the vertical distance from the eyes of the two men  standing to the top of the clock tower.

#Taking the right triangle ACD:

\Tan \ theta=\frac{Perpendicular \ Height}{Base}\\\\Tan \ 60\textdegree=\frac{y+1.5}{x}\\\\y=x \ Tan \ 60\textdegree -1.5

#Taking the right triangle ABD:

\Tan \ theta=\frac{Perpendicular \ Height}{Base}\\\\Tan \ 40\textdegree=\frac{y+1.5}{x+20}\\\\y=(x+20)\ Tan \ 40\textdegree -1.5

#We equate the two yo solve for x and y;

(x+20)\ Tan \ 40\textdegree -1.5=x\ Tan \ 60\textdegree -1.5\\\\(x+20)\ Tan \ 40\textdegree=x\ Tan \ 60\textdegree\\\\0.8391x+16.7820=1.7321x\\\\x=18.7939

Hence, John's distance from the tower's base is 18.7939 m

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The probability of choosing a professor or an instructor is 47.22%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the mathematics faculty at a college consists of 11 professors, 12 associate professors, 7 assistant professors, and 6 instructors, if a faculty member is selected, to find the probability of choosing a professor or an instructor the following calculation must be performed:

11 + 12 + 7 + 6 = 100

11 + 6 = X

36 = 100

17 = X

17 x 100/36 = X

1700/36 = X

47.22 = X

The probability of choosing a professor or an instructor is 47.22%.
