check the picture below.


bearing in mind that there are 60 minutes in 1 degree, then 16°18' will be 16.3° and likewise 48°51' will be 48.85° if we convert those to degrees only.


\bf y=\cfrac{200}{tan(48.85^o)}~\hspace{10em}x=\cfrac{200}{tan(16.3^o)}-y \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{200}{tan(16.3^o)}-\cfrac{200}{tan(48.85^o)}\implies x\approx 683.95 - 174.78\implies x\approx 509.17

-8.0 is classified as?Select all that apply * Natural Number Whole Number Integer Rational Number
grigory [225]

Answer:

Integer and Rational Number

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural numbers are positive numbers starting at 1 and going onward.  Since -8.0 is not a positive number, it is not a natural number.

Whole numbers are natural numbers and 0 altogether.  -8 is not greater than zero or positive, so it is not a whole number.

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q. Since q may be equal to 1, every integer is a rational number.  -8.0 can also be written as -8/1, so it is a rational number and an integer, since every integer is a number over 1 and also a rational number.

How do you find a value of x so that f(x) = 7?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

When f(x) = 7, x is equal to 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking at this graph, we are looking for where the line hits a point where y is equal to 7. That's because f(x) is essentially the same thing as y.

The point in which the graph hits y = 7 is (5, 7). This means the x value we need is 5.
