Answer:

20.485 Meters

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you wanna draw a diagram.  Start with the tower, then on the ground to the left (or right) draw a point.  The point will be labeled as 42 m away from the tower.  Now draw a line from that point to the top of the tower.  This makes your triangle, and that angle you just drew that touches the point is 26 degrees.

Now, since you have a right triangle you can use trig.  You know an angle and a side.  Specifically, relative to the 26 degree angle you know the adjacent angle and want the opposite, which is the tower.  So opposite and adjacent is tangent.  So you set up tan(26) = o/42 where o is the opposite side.  

So solving you get o = 20.485 meters

Salvador wrote 15 letters to friends each month for p months in a row. Write an expression to show how many total letters Salvad
katovenus [111]

Answer:

15p

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's interpret the question bit by bit</u>

<em>Salvador wrote 15 letters to friends each month</em>

=> 15 letters = 1 month

<em />

<em>For p months in a row</em>

let the total number of letters for p months be x

=> x letters = p months

<em>Bringing the two statements together gives;</em>

15 letters = 1 month

x letters = p months

<em>Now, let's solve for </em><em>x </em><em>by cross-multiplying the above</em>

x letters * 1 month = 15 letters * p months

x = \frac{15 letters * p months}{1 month}

x = 15p letters

Therefore, Salvador wrote a total of 15p letters for the p months.

Scope of practice describes the procedures, actions, and processes that a healthcare practitioner is permitted to undertake in keeping with the terms of their professional license.
