Answer:

149.30ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the vertical distance between the two tower = 40ft

The angle of elevation from the lower tower to te higher tower = 15°

The horizontal distance between the two towers = x

Assuming the angle of elevation and the distance between the two towers makes a right angle triangle, we can use SOHCAHTOA and determine which one would be suitable to find x.

Check attached document for better illustration of the triangle.

Tanθ = opposite / adjacent

Opposite = 40

θ = 15°

Adjacent = x

Tan15 = 40 / x

0.2679 = 40 / x

X = 40 / 0.2679

X = 149.30ft

The horizontal distance between the two towers is 149.30ft

Please help me im about to fail!!!! Express your answer in scientific notation.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

3.74 x 10^5

Step-by-step explanation:

First expand the term in scientific notation into normal notation.

3.3 x 10^5   -   Here the ^5 tells us to move the decimal five places to the right, so we go from

3.30000 to

330000.00

So 3.3 x 10^5 = 330,000

Now add that to 44,000 and you get 374,000.

Return this number to scientific notation.  Move the decimal back to its spot before the 3.  We go from

374,000.00 to

3.74000

Once again the decimal has moved five places, so that is the number in the exponent of the our scientific notation, and therefore our answer is

3.74 x 10^5

soldi70 [24.7K]

To find the number of hours, divide the total distance by the speed.

Hours = 76 km / 14 km per hour

Hours = 4.529

Round the answer as needed.

Probability scenarios?
velikii [3]

Here are some probability scenarios.

- Flipping a coin and seeing if it is heads or tails.

- Thinking to yourself:  "Is it going to rain or hail?"

- Spinning a spinner and seeing what color it lands on.

-  Probability in winning the lottery.

-  Having 5 pairs of black shoes and one pair of yellow shoes.

 The probability of picking the yellow shoe is 1/5.

There are lots of more examples out there!
