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

In​ 2012, a health insurance plan for a​ 35-year-old and his or her spouse costs ​$301 per month. That rate increased to ​$430 p
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost for insuring the applicant = a.

Let the cost for insuring the spouse = b

Let the cost for insuring the first child= c

Let the cost for insuring the second child = d

A 35-year-old health insurance plan and that of his or her spouse costs ​$301 per month. This means that:

a + b = $301.

That rate increased to ​$430 per month if a child were included. This means the cost of a child will be:

= $430 - $301

= $129

The rate increased to $538 per month if two children were included. This means the cost for the second child will be:

= $538 - $430

= $108

The rate dropped to ​$269 per month for just the applicant and one child. His will be the cost of the applicant and a single child. This can be written as:

a + $129 = $269

a = $269 - $129

a = $140

Since a + b = $301

$140 + b = $301

b = $301 - $140

b = $161

Applicant = $140

The spouse = $161

The first​ child = $129

The second child = $108

A certain connected graph has 68 vertices and 72 edges. Does it have a circuit?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a graph G doesn't have a circuit, we must have that

|E(G)|=|V(G)|-1

where |E(G)| is the number of edges of the graph and |V(G)| the number of vertices. However, in this case it holds that

|E(G)|=72>68=|V(G)|.
