Answer:
19.4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
When calculating distances using perpendicular angles, we use trig functions such as Sin, Cos, and Tan.
- Sine is defined in a perpendicular triangle as the ratio of the opposite side to the angle over the hypotenuse.
- Cosine is defined in a perpendicular triangle as the ratio of the adjacent side to the angle over the hypotenuse.
- Tangent is defined in a perpendicular triangle as the ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side.
Because our angle and know side value are across from each other and we need to know the hypotenuse, we chose to use Sine.
We set up the equation 
.
We isolate h by multiplying h across the equal sign and dividing sin (68) across as well. 
And finally we have 
. We input to calculator.

Answer:
The diameter by Pi or The radius multiplied by 2 time Pi
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because this is how you get the circumference.
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 6 = 16 (Based on similarity)
2x = 16 + 6
2x = 22
x = 22/2
x = 11
Answer:
(5,-1) or x=5 y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
I used the substitution method to solve this!
<em>1. Pick one of your equations and solve for one of the variables. I chose the first equation and solved for x.</em>
x-2y=7
(Move the -2y to the other side of the equation in order to get the x by itself. You do the opposite, so it becomes +2y.)
x=2y+7
<em>2. Now take your second equation and plug in what you got for x into the x variable.</em>
2(2y+7)+5y=5
(Multiple 2 by everything inside of the parentheses.)
4y+14+5y=5
(We want to get the y by itself, so move the 14 to the other side.)
4y+5y=-14+5
(Combine all the like terms.)
9y=-9
(Divide the 9 from the y. What you do to one side you must do to the other.)
y=-1
<em>3. Since you have one variable solved for. Now take the first equation and plug in your y.</em>
x-2(-1)=7
(Multiple -2 by -1)
x+2=7
(Move the 2 to the other side in order to get the x by itself.)
x=5
<em>4. If needed, plug in your x and y values into the equations in order to check your answer.</em>
Hope this could help!
