The hypotenuse would be square root of 41
Use the distributive property.
4(4a + 5) = 4 * 4a + 4 * 5 = 16a + 20
Answer: 16a + 20
Answer:
68.17m
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached a rough sketch of the scenario
Step one:
Given data
Height of victim= 4.5ft
The horizontal distance of the snipper from the building = 780ft
The angle of elevation= 5 degrees
Required
The vertical distance
The opposite= the vertical distance
789 ft = the adjacent
Step two:
Applying SOH CAH TOA
tan ∅= opp/adj
tan 5= opp/780
cross multiply we have
0.0874= opp/780
cross multiply we have
0.0874*780= opp
opp= 68.17m
The sniper shoots from a vertical distance of 68.17m
Answer: 9/17
Reason
The reciprocal is simply flipping the denominator and numerator of a fraction.
1-8/9 as a mixed fraction is 17/9
So the reciprocal would be to flip it,
Giving you 9/17 which is in its simplest form
