Answer:

i. Colonel is about 201 feet away from the fire.

ii. Sarge is about 125 feet away from the fire.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Colonel's location be represented by A, the Sarge's by B and that of campfire by C.

The total angle at the campfire from both the Colonel and Sarge = 59^{0} + 34^{0}

                                           = 93^{0}

Thus,

<CAB = 90^{0} - 59^{0} = 31^{0}

<CBA = 90^{0} - 34^{0} = 56^{0}

Sine rule states;

\frac{a}{Sin A} = \frac{b}{Sin B} = \frac{c}{Sin C}

i. Colonel's distance from the campfire (b), can be determined by applying the sine rule;

\frac{b}{Sin B} = \frac{c}{Sin C}

\frac{b}{Sin 56^{0} } = \frac{242}{Sin 93^{0} }

\frac{b}{0.8290} = \frac{242}{0.9986}

cross multiply,

b = \frac{0.8290*242}{0.9986}

  = 200.8993

Colonel is about 201 feet away from the fire.

ii. Sarge's distance from the campfire (a), can be determined by applying the sine rule;

\frac{a}{Sin A} = \frac{c}{Sin C}

\frac{a}{Sin 31^{0} } = \frac{242}{Sin 93^{0} }

\frac{a}{0.5150} = \frac{242}{0.9986}

cross multiply,

a = \frac{0.5150*242}{0.9986}

  = 124.8073

Sarge is about 125 feet away from the fire.

the area of a rectangular patio is represented by the expression 6x^2+13-5. the width of the patio is (3x-1) write an expression
jok3333 [9.3K]

<span>I think you meant 6x²+13x-5 so first thing we have to do is factor it which is really quite tricky with this kind of trinomial so first take ac which is 6 times -5 so -30 now figure out factors of -30 that will add up to 13 how about 15 and -2 now that we have the factors write the equation again</span>

<span /><span> 6x²+15x-2x-5  </span>split the equation in half<span />

<span>6x²+15x   -2x-5 so out of the first equation we can pull a 3x out</span>

<span>3x(2x+5) and out of the second we can pull a negative 1</span>

<span>3x(2x+5) -1(2x+5) rewrite it</span>

<span>(3x-1)(2x+5) so the 3x-1 is the factor we already had so the other side is (2x+5)</span>

<span>
</span>

Which statement is correct?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

2.06 \times 10^-^2 = 206

1.88 \times 10^-^1 = 18.8

206 \times 18.8 = 3,872.8

7.69 \times 10^-^2 = 769

2.3 \times 10^-^5  = 230,000

=\frac{769}{230000}

= 0.00334

therefore,

3,872.80 > 0.00334

Step-by-step explanation:

Which statement is correct?

(2.06x102x1.88 x 10-1) <7.69x 10

2.3x10-5

(2.06 x 10-2)(1.88 x 10-1) 7.69x 10-

2.3x10-5

7.69 x 10"

(2.06 x 10-2x1.88x10-)>

2.3x10-5

(2.06x 10-2X(1.88x 10-1)-7.69x104

2.3x10-5

Given that;

2.06 \times 10^-^2 = 206

1.88 \times 10^-^1 = 18.8

206 \times 18.8 = 3,872.8

7.69 \times 10^-^2 = 769

2.3 \times 10^-^5  = 230,000

=\frac{769}{230000}

= 0.00334

therefore,

3,872.80 > 0.00334
