<h3>Answer: Approximately 119.76 meters</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

x = starting length of the shadow

y = height of the pole

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(58) = y/x

1.6003345 = y/x

1.6003345x = y

x = y/1.6003345

x = (1/1.6003345)y

x = 0.62486936y

-------------------------

When the angle changes, the adjacent side gets 90 meters longer

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(36) = y/(x+90)

0.72654253 = y/(0.62486936y+90)

0.72654253(0.62486936y+90) = y

0.453994166y + 65.3888277 = y

65.3888277 = y-0.453994166y

65.3888277 = 0.546005834y

0.546005834y = 65.3888277

y = 65.3888277/0.546005834

y = 119.758478075162

y = 119.76

The height of the pole is about 119.76 meters.

A and B are two events.
maria [59]

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve P(A or B) by using the following:

P(AorB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AandB)

Since we know P(A) = 0.6, P(B) = 0.3 and P(A and B) = 0.1 we obtain:

P(AorB)=0.6+0.3-0.1=0.8

2x+5y how do i simplify this or do i just leave this as that
zheka24 [161]
Since they are not like terms (not the same variables) you cannot simply so you leave it like that.✨ This applies for addition and subtraction only. It’s different with multiplication and division.✨

What horsepower is required to lift an 8,000 pound aircraft six feet in two minutes?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The horsepower required is 235440 watt.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : What horsepower is required to lift an 8,000 pound aircraft six feet in two minutes?

Solution :

The horsepower formula is given by,

W=\frac{mgh}{t}

Where, W is the horsepower

m is the mass m=8000 pound

g is the gravitational constant g=9.81

t is the time t= 2 minutes

h is the height h=6 feet

Substitute all values in the formula,

W=\frac{8000\times 9.81\times 6}{2}

W=\frac{470880}{2}

W=235440

Therefore, The horsepower required is 235440 watt.
