Answer:

48ft

Step-by-step explanation:

  • <u>Distance of car A from the tower</u>
  • Consider ∆ACD tan25 = 50/AC AC  = 50/tan25 = 50/0.4663 = 107.2 ft
  • <u>Distance of car B from the tower</u>
  • Consider ∆BCD tan40 = 50/BC AC  = 50/tan40 = 50/0.8391 = 59.6 ft

  • <u>Distance from cars A and B</u> AB = AC – BC = 107.2 – 59.6 = 48 ft The distance between the two cars is 48ft

Find an exact solution for √5-1/x = √5/2 Then find the approximate solution to the nearest tenth.
viktelen [127]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{ \sqrt{5 - 1 } }{x}  =  \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{2}  \\  \\ x \sqrt{5 }  = 2 \sqrt{5}  - 2 \\ x = 2 -  \frac{2 \sqrt{5} }{5}

The equation of a line is y-4=3(x+2) , which of the following is a point on the line?
kramer
Y-4=3(x+2)
y-4=3x+6

y = 3x +10

so in case of choise C. we get 

4 = 3*(-2) +10

4 = -6 +10

4 = 4 

hope this will help you

How to multiply and devide fractions
anygoal [31]
Multiplying Fractions Three simple steps are required to multiply two fractions: Step 1: Multiply the numerators from each fraction by each other (the numbers on top). The result is the numerator of the answer. Step 2: Multiply the denominators of each fraction by each other (the numbers on the bottom). The result is the denominator of the answer. Step 3: Simplify or reduce the answer. Examples of multiplying fractions:

What number is halfway between 7/3 and 5/9 ?
Eddi Din [679]

    You add the two numbers and divide by two to get their average, of the number that would be midway (also a midpoint for visualization) between them. Find the least common denominator, which should be 9. Thus, you will multiply both the numerator and denominator of 7/3 by 3 to retain the ratio. You should get 21/9. Now, add 21/9 and 5/9 to get 26/9. That should be your answer, but make it a mixed number so you don't have an improper fraction.
