Answer: 128.67 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.  

Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side  

Where α is the angle of depression from the top of Nisha's window to the bottom of the sculpture ,the opposite side is the height Nisha's window from the ground (60), and the adjacent side is the distance between the building and the sculpture (x).

Replacing with the values given:  

Tan 25 = 60/x

Solving for x  

x =60 / tan 25

x = 128.67 feet.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Is (-a + b)² = a² - 2ab + b² right or wrong, and why?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf Right.}

Step-by-step explanation:

(-a+b)^2

Let's apply the formula (x+y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

Here, x = -a and y = b

So,

= (-a)² + 2(-a)(b) + (b)²

= a² - 2ab + b²

Hence, it has been proved that (-a + b)² = a² - 2ab + b².

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!

Who had a head start, and how many miles was the head start? Rita had a 28-mile head start. Roger had a 26-mile head start. Roge
serg [7]

Complete question is;

Roger and Rita each drive at a constant speed between Phoenix and San Diego. Each driver’s distance for the same section of the trip is displayed below. Who had a head start, and how many miles was the head start?

A) Rita had a 28-mile head start.

B) Roger had a 26-mile head start.

C) Roger had a 25-mile head start.

D) Rita had a 22-mile head start.

Answer:

A) Rita had a 28-mile head start.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that Roger travelled a distance of 60 miles

And that;

Rita travelled a distance of 32 miles

We are told that they travelled between Phoenix and San Diego.

Thus, it means that if they have different distances but covered same section of the trip, it means the one with higher distance started before the section of the trip.

Thus, it means that Rita had a head start of Roger since she covered only 32 miles.

Thus;

Rita had a head start of; 60 - 32 = 28 miles

What the answer is ?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

A. 5 + 2.75 · S ≤ 21

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that it has to be less than or equal to $21 because that's all she has to spend. So we can automatically rule out the equations with ≥  because that means greater than.

We can also rule out the equations that have 50 at the very end because that's just how far she wants to travel.
