Answer:

70.1 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

Let AC is the reservoir with A as the bottom and C is the top.

Now, B is the position of Howard which is 109 yards from A i.e. AB = 109 yards.

Again, the angle elevation from B to C is 50 degrees.

So, ∠ ABC = 50°  

Now, \cos 50 = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{109}{x}

⇒ x = 109 cos 50 = 70.1 yards.

Therefore, the distance between the top of the reservoir and Howard i.e. BC is equal to 70.1 yards. (Answer)

Find the value of the expression:<br><br><br><br> 56 ÷ 7 + 7 × 3
miv72 [106K]
First, you have to apply the order of operations. 

Division and multiplication come first here and they go from left to right. So, 

56/7 = 8 
7*3 = 21 
Then, the addition. 
8 + 21 = 29. 

So the value of your expression is 29.

FASTTTTT<br>FIND THE AREA OF THE SHADED REGION​
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

A =28 pi cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the larger circle

A = pi r^2

A = pi (8)^2

A = 64 pi

Find the area of the smaller circle

A = pi r^2

A = pi 6^2

A = 36 pi

The shaded area is the larger circle minus the smaller circle

A shaded = 64 pi - 36 pi

A =28 pi cm^2

Solve for t. t + 19 = 45) it will give u 29 points if u help me!
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Hi there!

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

<u><em>t=26</em></u>

<u><em>*The answer must have a positive sign.*</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you subtract by 19 from both sides of an equation.

t+19-19=45-19

Then, you subtract by the numbers from left too right.

45-19=26

<u><em>Final answer is t=26</em></u>

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)
