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

A 13?-foot board is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is 7.5 feet longer than the shorter piece. What is the length of each?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The smaller board would be 2.75 feet and the longer one would be 10.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, assume the shorter board is equal to x. Next, we would know that the longer board would be equal to x + 7.5. Using these two assumptions, we can add the lengths together, set equal to 13 and then solve for x.

x + (x + 7.5) = 13

2x + 7.5 = 13

2x = 5.5

x = 2.75

Now that we have the length of the shorter board, we can add 7.5 to it to get the larger one.

2.75 + 7.5 = 10.25
