Answer:

Most reasonable: 16°, 20° and 22°

If Emma is very short, 25°

Step-by-step explanation:

This is trigonometry using Tangent and arc-tan

Tan=opp/adj

The length of the adjacent is 20 yards. The opposite lengths given are the bottom, 6 yards and the top, 10 yards. Assuming Emma is of average height, it seems reasonable to subtract about 1.7 to 1.9 yards, the distance of her eyes above ground level, for accuracy. But that may not be necessary, given the range of angles.

I subtracted 1.8, about 5'6"

Calculating tangent from the top:

8.2/20 = .41. arc-tan .41= 22.3°

tangent for the bottom:

4.2/20= .21 arc-tan .21 = 11.8°

If you are using a scientific calculator, once you have the ratio of the opp to adj in decimal form, use the tan- key then the decimal to convert to degrees.

Answer:

The number of quarters Josie has in her collection of 92 coins 28 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are

The total number of coins Josie has = 92

Let the number of quarters she has = x

Therefore, 92 = 8 + 3×x

8 + 3×x = 92

3×x = 92 - 8 = 84

3×x = 84

x = 84/3 = 28

x = 28

The number of quarters Josie has in her collection of 92 coins = 28 quarters.

The product of x and the sum of 6 and 8 times the square of x
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

x(6 + 8x²) or 6x + 8x³.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The square of x" can be represented by x² and 8 times that would be 8 * x² or 8x². The sum of 6 and 8x² can be represented by 6 + x² and the product of x and 6 + x² can be represented by x * (6 + 8x²) or x(6 + 8x²) which simplifies to 6x + 8x³.
