Answer:

30.17feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

the distance from the base of the pole to the tip of the shadow = 49feet (hypotenuse)

angle of elevation = 38°

Required

Height of the flagpole (opposite)

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 38 = H/49

H = 49sin38

H = 49(0.6157)

H = 30.17feet

Hence the flagpole is 30.17feet high

Evaluate <br> a<br> +<br> 4<br> a+4a, plus, 4 when <br> a<br> =<br> 7<br> a=7a, equals, 7.
Scilla [17]

<em>When evaluating a=7 then we get that the expression is 11</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As I understand the expression is the following:

a+4

Let's call, that expression as E

So we are asked to find the value of the expression when a=7. In other words, we need to substitute a=7, so:

E(7)=(7)+4 \\ \\ E(7)=11

So <em>when evaluating a=7 then we get that the expression is 11</em>

20 - 4b/8= 18<br><br> another one :)
Crazy boy [7]

multiply by 8 on both sides

(20)8 - 8(4b/8) = (18)8

160 - 4b = 144

subtract 160 on both sides

160 - 160 - 4b = 144 - 160

-4b = -16

divide by -4 on both sides

-4b/-4 = -16/-4

b = 4

you have been given an engine repair job that has a job time of 7 hours how many minutes should you allow for your job?​
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Job\ Time = 420\ minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Job\ Time = 7\ hours

Required

Determine the job time in minutes

To do this, we simply convert the time to minutes.

1\ hour = 60\ minutes

7\ hours = 7 * 60\ minutes

So, we have:

Job\ Time = 7 * 60\ minutes

Job\ Time = 420\ minutes

<em>Hence, the job time in minutes is 420 minutes</em>

Someone please help me on this I’ll make you brainlist
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

M = (1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the midpoint is the "average" of the x points and y points of the two coordinates given.

Given:

S = (-1,1)

T = (3,-5)

To find x coordinate of Midpoint M, we take average of both x coordinates of points S and T:

(-1+3)/2 = 1

To find y coordinate of Midpoint M, we take average of both y coordinates of points S and T:

(1-5)/2 = -2

So, the Midpoint M is:

M = (1,-2)
