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

A cube-shaped water tank having 6 ft side lengths is being filled with water. The bottom is solid metal but the sides of the tan
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

0.033 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g = 32.2 ft/s2 and h be the maximum height that water can be filled before the sides shatter.

Pressure is distributed from 0 to maximum at the bottom like the following equation:

P = \rho gh

So the force generated by water pressure on the side of the tank is

F = PA = \rho ghs/2

where s = 6ft is the side length of the tank. This force cannot be larger than 200lb

\rho ghs/2 \leq 200

62.4*32.2*h*6/2 \leq 200

h \leq 0.033 ft

Mrs. Steward needs to save (4.2 X 10^6) dollars for her children's college education. If she can save (1.4 X 10^2) each month, h
qwelly [4]

Answer: 30,000 months or 2,500 years

She'd better start saving more haha.

Step-by-step explanation:

Goal=4.2x10^6\\Savings/month=1.4x10^2

\frac{4.2x10^6}{1.4x10^2} =(\frac{4.2}{1.4})x10^(^6^-^2^)=(3)x10^4=3x10^4 =30000 months=\frac{30000}{12}=2500years
