Answer:

19.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a circle to represent the ferris wheel with a 10.2 m radius. Draw a horizontal line through the circle center horizontal to the ground (at 13.1 m). Now draw a line from the center of the circle (ferris wheel) upward at 140 degrees until you reach the edge of the circle. Draw a line down from that point to the horizontal line at This is your right triangle to solve.

Hypotenuse is 10.2 m (radius of circle)

The angle of the triangle the supplementary angle of 140 degrees. 180-140=40 degrees

sin 40 degrees=rise /radius=rise/10.2

sin 40=0.6428=rise/10.2

rise=10.2(0.6428)

rise=6.6 m

13.1+6.6=19.7 m

I need help with Algebra 2. Thank you! :)
andre [41]

Answer:

B: 6.0

Step-by-step explanation:

-3t^2+9t+54 = 0

This is the equation that needs to be solved

Divide both sides by -3

t^2 - 3t - 18 = 0

The factors of 18 are: (1 18) (2 9) (3 6)

3 - 6 = -3 and 3 x -6 = -18

So: (t + 3) (t - 6) = 0

t = -3, 6

It can't be negative so the answer is 6
