<h3>Answer: B. 781.6 feet approximately</h3>

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

Work Shown:

The horizontal portion is 400+166 = 566 feet. Label this as 'a', so a = 566. The vertical side is unknown, so b = x. The hypotenuse is c = 965

Use the pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

566^2+x^2 = 965^2

x^2 = 965^2 - 566^2

x = sqrt( 965^2 - 566^2 )

x = 781.58108984289 which is approximate

x = 781.6 feet when rounding to one decimal place

What is 8,000,000 + 100,000 + 7,000 + 400 + 20 + 4 in standard form?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

8,107,424

Step-by-step explanation:

The 8,000,000 would stay the same, but the second zero would be switched by a one. The third number would still just be a zero. The other zero would turn into a seven, and the last three numbers would be 4, 2 and 4. You can also find the number by adding.

Find the equation of the line.<br><br>Use exact numbers.
Taya2010 [7]

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

The line passes through the y-axis at the point (0, -5). So, -5 is the y-intercept.

We can use the points (0, -5) and (5, 0) to solve.

Slope formula: y2-y2/x2-x1

0-(-5)/5-0)

5/5

1

The slope is 1.

Substitute these values into the equation.

y = 1x + (-5)

y = x - 5

Therefore, the answer is [ y = x - 5 ]

Best of Luck!
