Answer:

10.99 m

Step-by-step explanation:

✍️What we are basically asked to solve here is to find the distance between C and D.

To find CD, find the length of BC, and BD. Their difference will give us CD.

Thus, BC - BD = CD.

✍️Finding BC using trigonometric ratio formula:

\theta = 30 + 10 = 40

Opposite side = BC = ??

Adjacent side = 42 m

Thus:

tan(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Plug in the values

tan(40) = \frac{BC}{42}

Multiply both sides by 42

tan(40) \times 42 = \frac{BC}{42} \times 42

35.24 = BC

BC = 35.24 m

✍️Finding BD using trigonometric ratio formula:

\theta = 30

Opposite side = BD = ??

Adjacent side = 42 m

Thus:

tan(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Plug in the values

tan(30) = \frac{BD}{42}

Multiply both sides by 42

tan(30) \times 42 = \frac{BD}{42} \times 42

24.25 = BD

BD = 24.25 m

✍️How much below the top of the tower is the shorter one attached:

Thus,

BC - BD = CD

35.24 m - 24.25 m = 10.99 m

-0.38 (8 repeating) written as a fraction is _____.
natulia [17]

Answer:

\frac{7}{18}

Step-by-step explanation:

We first let 0.38 (8 being repeated) be T.

Since z is recurring in 1 decimal places, we multiply it by 10. 10z = 3.88

Next, we subtract them. 10 r T 3.88 0.38 9x 3.5

Lastly, we divide both sides by 9 to get IC as a fraction. 3.5 T 9 35 90 7 18
