Answer:

124.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using the Trigonometric function of Tangent

= tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent

θ = Angle of Elevation = 73°

Adjacent = 38 ft

Opposite = x

Hence

tan 73° = x/38 ft

Cross Multiply

x = tan 73° × 38 ft

x = 124.2923995 ft

Approximately = 124.3 ft

Therefore, Nick is 124.3 ft from the ground.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

8b+7p=20

p = 2b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there is a constant speed of 8 km per hour and the number of hours be b so here 8b signifies the distance

Now on the other hand there is a constant speed of 7 km per hour and the number of hours be p so here 7p signfies the distance

So the total distance would be

= 8b + 7p

And, the total km is 20

Now the whole equation would be

8b + 7p = 20

Also it is mentoined that for getting into the park it is twice for getting into the beach

So, it would be

p = 2b

Therefore the system of equations are as follows

8b+7p=20

p = 2b

liberstina [14]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 is 3 times 1/6, because 3/1  \frac{3}{1} * \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{6} and 3/6 is the same as 1/2.  Thus, he can make 3 bowls of granola.

Solve the quadratic equation.<br> (a + 5)2 +36 = 9
Andrej [43]

Answer:

No solution unless you want to solve for an imaginary number which in that case a=27i-5

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+5)^{2} +36=9

(a+5)^2=-27

a+5=\sqrt{-27}

Here you can stop and say "no solution" since you cannot square root a negative number, but if you want you can still solve for an imaginary number:

a+5=\sqrt{-1} \sqrt{27}

a+5=27i

a=27i-5
