Answer:

132 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attachment for figure.

In smaller triangle with angle theta , we have ,

⇒ tanθ = p/b

⇒ tanθ = h/121m

⇒ tanθ = h/121 m

<u>In</u><u> </u><u>triangle</u><u> </u><u>with</u><u> </u><u>angle </u><u>9</u><u>0</u><u>-</u><u>∅</u>

⇒ tan(90-θ) = p/b

⇒ cot θ = h/144 m

Multiplying these two ,

=> tanθ . cotθ = h/121 m × h/144m

=> 1 = h²/ (121 m × 144m )

=> h² = 121m × 144m

=> h= √ ( 121m × 144m)

=> h = 11m × 12m

=> h = 132 m

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

4y^4 + 6y = 256y + 6 = <u>262y</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove the variables for a second and think of the problem as a normal expression; 4^4 + 6

Simplify the first term; 4^4 = 256

Now, add 6; 256 + 6 = 262

Add back in the variable; 262y

1. Girl Scout Troop 321 started with 25 girls and at the end of the year party there were 31 girls. Gabby
Oksanka [162]

Answer: 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are informed that the Girl Scout Troop started with 25 girls and at the end of the year party there were 31 girls. The percentage change will be:

= (31 - 25) / 25 × 100

= 6/25 × 100

= 24%

The error that Gabby made was that she used 31 as the base. This is expressed below:

= 31 - 25) / 31 × 100

= 6/31 × 100

= 19.4%
