Answer: 87 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between the pilling is 60°

The adjacent side of the right angle is 150

So let the distance between the pilling be y, that is opposite side.

Opposite / adjacent = tan (60°)

y / 150 = tan (60)

y × tan (60°) = 150

Divide both side by tan (60°)

y = 150 / tan (60°)

y = 150 / 1.7321

y = 87 feet

<h2>Good morning,</h2>

<em><u>__________________</u></em>

<em><u>Answer</u></em>:

a+a+a = 3a.

4b-b = 3b.

3x²+x² = 4x².

<u><em>explanation</em></u>

a+a+a = 3a.

4b-b = b(4 - 1) = b × 3 = 3b.

3x²+x² = x²(3 + 1) = x² × 4 = 4x².

I really don't understand help
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

128 ft sq.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way you find the area of a square is by multiplying one side by another, and since it is a square, the sides are the same. This means that if we have a square with a side length of x, the way to find the area of that square is to multiply x by x, which can be written as x^2. Now, since we're doubling this, we can say that double Mary's garden is 2 * x^2. If we substitute 8 in for x, we have to multiply 8^2 by 2 or 8 by 8 by 2 to find our answer. 8 times 8 is 64 and 64 times 2 is 128.
