Answer:

45.55 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing she recorded above her height, right?

To find the height of the dam, use the tangent ratio:

tangentX=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

The height of the dam is the side opposite the given angle, and this will represent x. The adjacent side (the hypotenuse is NEVER considered the adjacent side) is the distance from Scarlett to the dam. The angle of elevation is the angle of 26°. Insert the values:

tan26=\frac{x}{90}

Solve for x. Multiply both sides by 90:

90*(tan26)=90*(\frac{x}{90})\\\\90*tan26=x

Insert equation into a calculator:

x=90*tan26\\\\x=43.9

Now add Scarlett's height:

43.9+1.65=45.55

The dam is 45.55 meters tall.

<em>Finito</em> :D

If mc019-1.jpg and n(x) = x – 3, which function has the same domain as mc019-2.jpg?
Eddi Din [679]
We know that m o n(x) = m(n(x))

This means           

                                     (x-3) + 5       x+2
                   m(n(x)) =  ------------- = --------
                                     (x-3) -1         x-4

The domain of this function is all real numbers - {4}

The function with the same domain is h(x) = 11/x-4

2:shows the double amount of money which ELI has

10:shows the amount of money which ELI had at the starting.

k:shows the amount of money which is lost.

10-k:shows the amount of money which ELI has after losing some amount.

According to the second expression:

20-2k where,

20:shows the twice of initial amount.

k: is the amount of money which is lost

2k:s hows the twice of amount which is lost

Answer: B. 84 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the area into two regions: a rectangle and a trapezoid (depicted in the attached photo).

Find the area of the rectangle:

Area of a rectangle=length*width

Area of rectangle=(5 in)( 10 in)

Area of rectangle=50 in²

Next, calculate the area of the trapezoid:

Area of trapezoid=\frac{h(b_{1} +b_{2}) }{2}

h=10 in-6 in

h=4 in

b_{1} =15 in

b_{2} =15 in-5 in

b_{2} =10 in

Area of trapezoid=\frac{4in(7 in+10in)}{2}

Area of trapezoid=\frac{4(17in^{2})  }{2}

Area of trapezoid=\frac{68in^{2} }{2}

Area of trapezoid=34in^{2}

Add the area of the trapezoid to the area of the rectangle to find the total area: 50 in²+34 in²=84 in²

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Coniferous trees keep their needles all year with the exception of tamarack. They are good trees to plant for privacy and wind breaks or shelterbelts

Pines include native white, red, and jack. They have long needles.

Spruces, black and white, and firs. They have short needles. They are important sources of wood fiber in northern Minnesota, and are excellent choices for windbreaks or shelterbelts.

Cedars include white or red. Cedars have scaled needles. Smaller than pines and spruces, cedars can provide wildlife cover and food.
