Applying the tangent ratio, the distance across the suspension bridge is: 499.2 ft.
<h3>What is the Tangent Ratio?</h3>
Where we are given a right triangle, the tangent ratio is determined using the formula, tan ∅ = opposite side/adjacent side.
The diagram atatched beow whos the distance across the suspension bridge which consists of 6 identical right triangles.
Find the adjacent side of each right triangle using the tangent ratio:
∅ = 32
Opposite side = 52 ft
Adjacent side = x
Plug in the values into the tangent ratio:
tan 32 = 52/x
x = 52/tan 32
x = 83.2 ft.
Distance across the suspension bridge = 6(83.2) = 499.2 ft.
Therefore, applying the tangent ratio, the distance across the suspension bridge is: 499.2 ft.

Answer:
Half a pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of pounds he ate, multiply the fractions.
He ate 1/2 a pound.
What a delightful little problem ! (Partly because I could see
right away how to do it, and had the answer in a few minutes,
after a lot of impressive-looking algebra on my scratch-paper.)
Three consecutive integers are . . . x, x+1, and x+2
The smallest two are . . . x and x+1
Their product is . . . . . x(x+1)
5 times the largest one is . . . 5(x+2)
5 less than that is . . . . . . 5(x+2)-5
Now, the conditions of the problem say that <u>x (x + 1) = 5 (x+2) - 5</u>
THAT's the equation we have to solve, to find 'x' .
Eliminate parentheses: x² + x = 5x + 10 - 5
Combine like terms: x² + x = 5x + 5
Subtract 5x from each side: x² - 4x = 5
Subtract 5 from each side: <u>x² - 4x - 5 = 0</u>
You could solve that by factoring it, or use the quadratic equation.
Factored, it says that (x + 1) (x - 5) = 0
From which <em>x = -1</em>
and <em>x = +5</em>
We only want the positive results, so our three consecutive integers are
5, 6, and 7 .
To answer the question, the smallest one is <em><u>5 </u></em>.
<u>Check</u>:
5 x 6 ? = ? (7 x 5) - 5
30 ? = ? (35) - 5
30 = 30
yay !
The value of x in terms of p is 15/p.
The value of x when p is -5 is -3.
Pls tell me if i’m wrong in any way!
