<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

PLZZ ANSWER THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

y = -9.3

if they are complementary it is 45 degrees

if they are supplementary it is 90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

-12.7 = y -3.4

-12.7 + 3.4 = y -3.4 + 3.4

-9.3 = y

complementary angles equal to 90 degrees

supplementary angles equal to 180 degrees

vertical angles have same degrees

so 90/2= 45

180/2 =90

Find <span>tan<span>(<span><span>5π</span>12</span>)</span></span> and sin ((5pi)/12)
Answer: <span>±<span>(2±<span>√3</span>)</span>and±<span><span>√<span>2+<span>√3</span></span></span>2</span></span>

Explanation:

Call tan ((5pi/12) = t. 
Use trig identity: <span><span>tan2</span>a=<span><span>2<span>tana</span></span><span>1−<span><span>tan2</span>a</span></span></span></span>
<span><span>tan<span>(<span><span>10π</span>12</span>)</span></span>=<span>tan<span>(<span><span>5π</span>6</span>)</span></span>=−<span>1<span>√3</span></span>=<span><span>2t</span><span>1−<span>t2</span></span></span></span>
