Answer:
length of wire = 116 ft

Explanation:
The attached image shows a diagram on the scenario given.

Now, we can note that the string forms a right-angled triangle with the tower and the ground. This means that special trig functions can be applied.
These functions are as follows:
sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan θ = opposite / adjacent

Now, from the given, we can find that:
θ = 34°
opposite is the tower = 65 ft
hypotenuse is the string length that we want to find

Substitute with the givens in the sin function to get the length of string as follows:
sin (34) = 65 / string
string = 65 / sin(34)
string = 116.2 which is approximately 116 ft

Hope this helps :)

Find the area of the shaded regions. Give your answer as a completely simplified exact value in terms of π (no approximations).
Anna [14]
The shaded areas add to 2/5 of the area of the circle, which is given by
  A = πr²

Then the shaded area is ...
  (2/5)A = (2/5)π(10 in)²
  shaded area = 40π in²

The drama club is selling tickets for a play. The profit, y, is
Goshia [24]

Answer:

80 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the profit, y, modeled by the equation, y = x^2 – 40x – 3,200, where x is the number of tickets sold, we are to find the total number of  tickets, x, that need to be sold for the drama club to break  even. To do that we will simply substitute y = 0 into the given the equation and calculate the value of x;

y = x^2 – 40x – 3,200,

0 = x^2 – 40x – 3,200,

x^2 – 40x – 3,200 = 0

x^2 – 80x  + 40x – 3,200 = 0

x(x-80)+40(x-80) = 0

(x+40)(x-80) = 0

x = -40 and x = 80

x cannot be negative

Hence the total number of  tickets, x, that need to be sold for the drama club to break  even is 80 tickets

I am greater than 54 fewer tens than 90?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
In all cases, we will let x represent the number.
1) 54 tens = 540
90 - 540 = -450
x > -450

2) x < 36 and x > 24
24 < x < 36

3) 8 tens and 5 ones = 80 + 5 = 85
x > 85

4) x > 27
x < 33
And the value in the ones place is less than the value in the tens place, so
30 ≤ x ≤ 32
