Answer:

33.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using Trigonometric function of Tangent

tan θ = opposite/adjacent

θ = 56°

Opposite = 50 ft

Adjacent = x

Cross Multiply

tan 56 = 50 ft/x

Cross Mulitiply

tan 56 × x = 50ft

x = 50ft/tan 56

x = 33.725425842 ft

Approximately = 33.7 ft

The bird must travel 33.7 ft to meet the worm

: Diego is collecting dimes and nickels in a jar. He has collected $22.25 so far. The relationship between the numbers of dimes
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

A. (0,445)

D.(118,209)

E.(172,101)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that we have in this problem is:

0.10d + 0.05n = 22.25

where

d is the number of dimes

n is the number of nickels

$22.25 is the total amount of money collected by Diego in the jar.

In order to find which pairs of values can be solutions to the equation, we just need to substitute each pair (d,n) into the left term on the equation, and check if the result is 22.25. Let's do it:

A. (0,445)

0.10\cdot 0 + 0.05\cdot 445 =0+22.25=22.25 --> YES

B. (0.50,435)

0.10\cdot 0.50 + 0.05\cdot 435 =0.05+21.75=21.80 --> NO

C. (233,21)

0.10\cdot 233 + 0.05 \cdot 21 =23.3+1.05=24.35 --> NO

D.(118,209)

0.10\cdot 118 + 0.05\cdot 209 =11.8+10.45=22.25 --> YES

E.(172,101)

0.10\cdot 172 + 0.05\cdot 101 =17.2+5.05=22.25 --> YES

So the correct pairs are:

A. (0,445)

D.(118,209)

E.(172,101)

Can somebody please help me with this math question please
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

isosceles triangles are ones that have two equal sides and angles. this would mean that ab is equal to bc. then you substitute the values in for AB=BC, 3x-4=5x-10. you bring the variables to one side and you flip everything which is then 2x=6 and then divide by 2. this would be x=3. then you have to figure out the AB. 3(3)-4=5. then you can always check for BC, 5(3)-10=5. and they are equal! hope i helped!
