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.

Solve the compound inequality 6b < 42 or 4b + 12 > 8.
sukhopar [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

6b < 42 or 4b + 12 > 8

6b < 42

= 6b/6 < 42/6

= b < 7

4b + 12 > 8

=4b - 12 + 12 < -12+8

= 4b > - 12 + 8

= 4b > -4

= 4b/4 = -4/4

b > -1

so

7 > b > -1

If C is the midpoint of EF, C has coordinate -8, F has coordinate 4, then find the coordinate of E
ycow [4]
<h3>Answer:    -20</h3>

==========================================================

Work Shown:

Let x be the location of E on the number line.

Since C is the midpoint of E and F, this means we can find C's location by adding E and F together and dividing that sum by 2

midpoint = (endpoint1 + endpoint2)/2

C = (E+F)/2

Plug in E = x, C = -8 and F = 4. Then solve for x

C = (E+F)/2

-8 = (x+4)/2

(x+4)/2 = -8

x+4 = 2(-8) .... multiplying both sides by 2

x+4 = -16

x = -16-4 .... subtract 4 from both sides

x = -20

The location of point E on the number line is -20

-------------

As a check, lets add E and F to get E+F = -20+4 = -16

Then cut this in half to get -16/2 = -8, which is the proper location of point C

This confirms our answer.

2X+2Y=48<br> 3X+Y=40 <br><br> What is X and Y
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

x=8

y=16

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2y=48

3x+y=40

Ther is many ways to solve this, one of them is clearance:

WE CLEAR AN UNLOCKED (X) AND REPLACE IT IN THE OTHER

x= (40-y)/3

2[(40-y)/3] +2y=48

(80-2y)/3 +2y=48

(80-2y+6y)/3=48

80+4y=48(3)

4y=144

y= 144/4

y=16

x=(40-y)/3

x=(40-16)/3

x=24/3

x=8
