Answer:

The length of wooden board = 9.4648 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wooden board makes a Right triangle with the building in which we have wooden board as hypotenuse, building as opposite side, and ground as adjacent side, the angle of elevation is 65 degrees.

Given adjacent side = 4 feet and elevation angle = 65 degrees.

We can use cosine formula in right triangle as follows:-

Cos(65°) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

cos(65°) = 4 / Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 4 / cos(65°)

Hypotenuse = 9.464806333 feet.

Hence, the length of wooden board = 9.4648 feet.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

when there are no parentheses around the base, this being -2 we put parentheses around the the 2 and the exponent so it will look like -(2^6) making whatever answer you get negative.

when you put parentheses around the base (-2)^6 you will get 64
