the distance to the nearest foot from the base to the top of the tower is 184 feet .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , The leaning tower of Pisa in Italy leans at an angle of about 84°. The figure below shows 52.1 meters from the base of the tower, the angle of elevation to the top is 50°. We need to find the distance to the nearest foot from the base to the top of the tower . Let's find out:

Let angle A = 50

Let Angle B = 84

Since the angles of a triangle must add up to 180, then

Angle C = 180-50-84 = 46

Now, use the law of sines to find the distance from the base to the top of the tower. That is the side of the triangle opposite Angle A. The distance of 52.1 feet is the side opposite Angle C. So:

⇒ \frac{a}{sin(a)}= \frac{c}{sin(c)}

⇒ \frac{a}{sin(50)}= \frac{52.1}{sin(46)}

⇒ a= \frac{52.1}{sin(46)}(sin(50)

⇒ a= \frac{52.1}{0.72}(0.76)

⇒ a=55ft

Therefore , the distance (b) from the base to the top of the tower is 55 feet .

Find the area of the shaded region. Round to the nearest tenth.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

3.5 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area \: of \: both \: squares  \\ =  {2}^{2}  +  {3}^{2}  \\  = 4 + 9 \\  = 13 \:  {cm}^{2}  \\  \\ Area \: of \: both \: right \:  \triangle s \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times (2 + 3) \times 2 + \frac{1}{2}  \times3 \times 3 \\  = 5 \times 1+ 1.5 \times 3 \\  = 5 + 4.5 \\  = 9.5 \:  {cm}^{2}  \\  \\ Area \: of \:shaded \: region \\  = Area \: of \: both \: squares\\ - Area \: of \: both \: right \:  \triangle s \\  = 13 - 9.5 \\   \purple { \boxed{ \bold{Area \: of \:shaded \: region = 3.5 \:  {cm}^{2} }}}

Tony bowled 135 and 145 in his first two games. write and solve a compound inequality to find the possible values for a third ga
stira [4]
The average has to be at least 120 and at most 130
To calculate the average we need the sum of all values divided by the number of values, in this case, three (135, 145 and the third result).
120 ≤ (135 + 145 + n)/3 ≤ 130

In inequalities like this, what we change in one side, must be changed in the othe rside as well.
360 ≤ 280 + n ≤ 390
80 ≤ n ≤ 110

Find three right triangles based upon the Pythagorean Triple of 8, 15, and 17. Explain how you know these are triangles.
Luba_88 [7]
A^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2 + 15^2 = 17^2
64 + 225 = 289
289=289
It is a triangle because the numbers match the Pythagorean Theorem.
