Answer:

x = 225.16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The angle between the piling and the pier is 60°.

A surveyor has set up his transit on one side of the lake 130 feet from a piling that is directly across from a pier on the other side of the lake.

We need to find the distance between the piling and the pier. Let the distance be d. Using the trigonometry to find it as follows :

\tan(60)=\dfrac{x}{130}\\\\x=\tan(60)\times 130\\\\x=225.16\ feet

So, the required distance is 225.16 feet.

Kira is a software saleswoman. Her base salary is $1600, and she makes an additional $60 for every copy of "English is Fun" she
Alchen [17]

Answer:

P = 1600 + 60N; $3,340

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know she gets $1,600 as a base, and $60 <em>each book</em>, we have to add a variable to 60 to show how many books she sells. Your first equation will be P (which is the total) = 1,600 + 60N. Now, we have to replace N with 29. You now have P = 1,600 + 60(29) = 1,600 + 1,740 = $3,340. That's your answer!
