Since 47ft is the distance from cell tower it could only be 24ft or 70ft, closest implies the least of the two which is 24ft

<h3>Answer:  24 feet</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

It might help to draw out a diagram. Refer to the image below. Point A is the cell tower location. Point B is where the person is located. This is a birds eye view. Point B is on the smaller circle of radius 23 ft. The cellphone, which has unknown location, is somewhere on the larger circle of radius 47 ft.

The best case scenario is that the phone is on ray AB, which would make the phone to be 47-23 = 24 ft away from the person. This is the closest the phone could be.

------------------

Extra info:

On the flip side, the worst case scenario is that the phone is on the diametrically opposite side. This would mean the distance from the phone to the person is 47+23 = 70 ft. So the range of possible distances d is 24 \le d \le 70

Given △MON≅△PQR with MO=20 , MN=32 and PR=3x−10. Find the value of x.<br><br> show your work
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are congruent, then its corresponding sides and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem

△MON≅△PQR

so

corresponding sides

MO≅PQ

MN≅PR

ON≅QR

corresponding angles

∠M≅∠P

∠O≅∠Q

∠N≅∠R

therefore

MN=PR

substitute the given values

32=3x-10

solve for x

3x=32+10

3x=42

x=14

Find the missing side length of the right triangle shown. Round to the nearest tenth, if
Delvig [45]

Answer:

? = 26 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

?² = 24² + 10² = 576 + 100 = 676 ( take the square root of both sides )

? = \sqrt{676} = 26

What is the equation of the line in slope intercept form? ILL MARK BRANLIEST ANSWER
lianna [129]

two points are (0,0) and (100, -800)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-800-0)/(100-0) = -8

point slope form of the line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-0 = -8 (x-0)

y=-8x

this is in slope intercept form now

y=-8x
