Answer:

  5956 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If we designate the points at the bases of the skyscrapers as A and B, and the top of skyscraper B as point T, then triangle ABT is a right triangle with angle B = 90° and angle A = 13.7°.

The definition of the tangent function tells us ...

  tan(A) = BT/AB

Solving for AB, we find ...

  AB = BT/tan(A) = (1452 ft)/tan(13.7°)

  AB ≈ 5956 ft

The skyscrapers are about 5956 feet apart.

Solve -9m-4+2m = -9-7m+5, and interpret the results.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

-9m - 4 + 2m = -9 - 7m + 5

-7m - 4 = -7m - 4

-7m + 7m = -4 + 4

0 = 0

This is an identity solution because the same number equals the same number. That means there's an infinite set of solutions.
