Answer:

1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

x\tan 70=4.4

xtan70=4.4

Cross multiply.

\frac{x\tan 70}{\tan 70}=\frac{4.4}{\tan 70}

tan70

xtan70

​  

=  

tan70

4.4

​  

 

Divide each side by tan 70.

x=\frac{4.4}{\tan 70}=1.6015\approx 1.6\text{ feet}

x=  

tan70

4.4

​  

=1.6015≈1.6 feet

Swimming Pool On a certain hot​ summer's day, 143 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $ 1.25 for children
kramer

Answer: 102 children and 41 adults swam at the pool that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that swam at the public pool that​ day.

Let y represent the number of adult that swam at the public pool that​ day.

On that certain hot​ summer's day, 143 people used the public swimming pool. It means that

x + y = 143

The daily prices are $1.25 for children and $2.25 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled $219.75. It means that

1.25x + 2.25y = 219.75- - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 143 - y into equation 1, it becomes

1.25(143 - y) + 2.25y = 219.75

178.75 - 1.25y + 2.25y = 219.75

- 1.25y + 2.25y = 219.75 - 178.75

y = 41

x = 143 - y = 143 - 41

x = 102

The leaning tower of Pisa currently "leans" at a 4 degree angle and has a vertical height of 55.86 meters. How tall was the lean
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

56 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let the leaning tower's be h meters tall, when it was originally built.

We can see from our attachment that the side with length 55.86 meters is hypotenuse and h is adjacent side for 4 degree angle.

Since we know that cosine relates the adjacent and hypotenuse of a right triangle.

\text{Cos}=\frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

\text{Cos (4)}=\frac{55.86}{h}

h=\frac{55.86}{\text{Cos (4)}}

h=\frac{55.86}{0.99756405026}

h=55.996\approx 56                      

Therefore, the leaning tower was approximately 56 meters, when it was originally built.
