Angle of depression=14°
height of tower=h=140 ft
   
                             tan(14°)=x/140
                             x=34.906 ft (distance from tent to the base of tower)

Between 10 P.M. and 7:54 A.M.​, the water level in a swimming pool decreased by 11/40 . Assuming that the water level decreased
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

It approximately dropped 0.027777 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate the decrease.

Decrease = 11/40 = 0.275

Then,  we calculate the time interval.

From 10 pm to 7:54 hours will be 9.54 hours

Time interval= (9 + 54/60) hours

Time interval=9.9 hours

Finally, we calculate how much it dropped each hour

0.275/9.9 ≈ 0.027777

So it approximately dropped 0.027777 per hour.

One integer added to another integer gives a sum of 2. When the larger integer is subtracted from the smaller integer, the diffe
alexandr402 [8]

For this case we have the following variables, let:

x: The greater integer

y: The minor integer

We have to:

x + y = 2 (1)\\y-x = -14 (2)

Thus, we have a system of two equations with two unknowns. To solve, we follow the steps below:

Step 1:

We add both equations:

x + y + y-x = 2-14\\2y = -12

y = \frac {-12} {2}\\y = -6

Thus, the smallest integer is y = -6

Step 2:

We substitute "y" in any of the equations and clear x:

x + y = 2\\x + (- 6) = 2\\x-6 = 2\\x = 2 + 6\\x = 8

Thus, the largest integer is x = 8

So:

8 + (- 6) = 8-6 = 2\\-6-8 = -14

Anwer:

Integer minor, y = -6

Integer greater,x = 8
