A field in the shape of a right triangle is bordered on one side by a stream, on another side by a road, and on a third side by

a fence. What angle does this stream make with the road? Enter your answer in the box. Round only your final answer to the nearest degree. ° A field in the shape of a right triangle. The bottom of the field is a fence. The right side of the field is a road. The fence and the road meet at a right angle. The third side of the field is a stream. The distance along the road between the fence and the stream is 20 yards. The distance along the stream between the fence and the road is 27 yards.

Answer:

42°

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, it may help you to draw it out to visualize it. You want to find the angle between the stream and road. Based on the description the triangle looks like this.

                         / |

Stream(27)      /   |  Road( 20)

                     /__|

                   Fence

You know the length of the road is 20, and the stream is 27. The angle can be found by using Cos∅=a/h. Adjacent to where the road and stream meet is the road, 20, and hypotenuse is the stream, 27.

So 20/27 = .74 = Cos∅

To find the angle ∅ use inverse cosine to get 42°.

Hope that helps and let me know if I did anything incorrectly!

Solve for x:<br> x/-6 ≥ -20?
34kurt

Answer: x ≤ 120

Step-by-step explanation: To get <em>x</em> by itself in this inequality, since it's being divided by -6, we must multiply both sides by -6, just like we would if we were solving an equation, but here is the trick you have to watch out for with inequalities.

When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a

negative, you <u>must</u> switch the direction of the inequality sign.

So our second step in this problem reads x ≤ 120.

<u>Please give this idea your full attention.</u>

<em>Even the most advanced algebra students will sometimes forget to switch the direction of the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative.</em>

6 divided by negative 3 minus 15 minus 7 divided by negative 2
pickupchik [31]
To answer this question you would need to use PEMDAS. Since you don't have any parentheses or exponents, you would start by doing all division from left to right. After that you would do the subtraction from left to right. Your final answer should be -13.5

Donald Trump wants to build a 100 meter high tower as quickly as possible. He has unlimited resources and an unlimited budget an
Sladkaya [172]

It will take 100 weeks to build the tower.

Since Donald Trump wants to build a 100 meter high tower as quickly as possible with blocks that are 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, but only 1 meter tall, and using special lifters, putting one stack on top of another stack takes one week regardless of how high the stacks are, to determine what is the shortest amount of time (weeks) that it will take to build the tower, the following calculation must be performed:

  • Time per block x total blocks = Total time
  • 1 week x 100 = X
  • 100 weeks = X

Therefore, it will take 100 weeks to build the tower.
