Answer: 9.97
==============================================
Explanation:
y = distance from the base of the pole to the closest person
y+200 = total horizontal distance
-------------
Focus on the smaller right triangle.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(26) = 55/y
y*tan(26) = 55
y = 55/tan(26)
y = 112.76671 approximately
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
--------------
Now move to the larger right triangle
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(x) = 55/(y+200)
tan(x) = 55/(112.76671+200)
tan(x) = 55/312.76671
tan(x) = 0.17585
x = arctan(0.17585) same as 
x = 9.97349
x = 9.97 degrees approximately
You can write it in the form a^2 - b^2 where a = 5x and b = p
(5x)^2 - p^2
And then use the Difference of Squares a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
Answer is (5x + p)(5x - p)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is permutation question
<u>The formula for it: </u>
- N = b!/(b-s)!, where N- number of ways, b- number of books, s- number of slots
<u>Finding the answer:</u>
- N = 7!/(7-5)! = 7!/2! = 7*6*5*4*3 = 2520
This answer would be (55/9, ∞)
