Given:
Height of the Statue of Liberty = 305 feet
Angle of elevation = 9 degrees
To find:
The between the tourist and the Statue of Liberty.
Solution:
Using the given information, draw a figure as shown below.
In a right triangle,
In the triangle ABC,
Therefore, the tourist is standing 1926 feet from the Statue of Liberty.
Answer:
n = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are vertical angles they are the same.
Therefore you can put together this equation:
2n - 8 = 36
Add 8 to both sides
2n = 44
Divide by 2
n = 22
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the interval, x = 1 and y = 5/2
<u>Substitute x into the expression:</u>
3 - 1 = 2
Answer: 2x
Step-by-step explanation: because 5+2-3=4

Answers: x = -17 and x = 64</h3>
====================================================
Explanation
Consider three scenarios:
- A) The value of x is the smallest of the set (aka the min)
- B) The value of x is the largest of the set (aka the max)
- C) The value of x is neither the min, nor the max. So 8 < x < 39.
These scenarios cover all the possible cases of what x could be. It's either the min, the max, or somewhere in between the min and max.
--------------------
We'll start with scenario A.
If x is the min, then that must mean 39 is the max as it's the largest of the set {18, 36, 16, 39, 27, 8, 34}
The range is 56, so,
range = max - min
56 = 39 - x
56+x= 39
x = 39-56
x = -17 which is one possible answer
--------------------
If instead we go with scenario B, then x is the max and 8 is the min
range = max - min
56 = x - 8
56+8 = x
64 = x
x = 64 is the other possible answer
--------------------
Lastly, let's consider scenario C. If x is not the min or the max, then it's somewhere between the min 8 and max 39. in short, 8 < x < 39.
Note that range = max - min = 39-8 = 31 which is not the range of 56 that we want. So there's no way scenario C can be possible here.
