Answer:

480.53 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(35) = 1000/hypotenuse1    - multiply by h (hypotenuse)

(h1)cos(35) = 1000        - divide by cos(35)

h1 = 1000 / cos(35)

h1 = 1220.7746

Same thing with the angle of depression of 54 degrees.

h2 = 1000 / cos(54)

h2 = 1701.3016

h2 - h1 = 480.53

Is 1.32 a rational number or integer
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

A rational number.

Step-by-step explanation

A rational number is a ratio of whole numbers.

1/3 is the ratio of 1:3

32:10 can be written 32/10 or 16/5 or 3.2

16/5 is a rational number 16 and 5 are integers, 5 is not equal to 0.

Express tan F as a fraction in simplest terms
gladu [14]

Answer:

  5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the tangent of angle F in right triangle FGH with sides FG=24, GH=10, and FH=26.

<h3>Tangent</h3>

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relations between trig functions and the sides of a right triangle. The TOA part of this tells you ...

  Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent

<h3>Application</h3>

The side opposite angle F is GH = 10.

The side adjacent to angle F is FG = 24.

Then the tangent is ...

  tan(F) = GH/FG = 10/24

  tan(F) = 5/12 . . . . . reduced to lowest terms

Answer:

1/2(x-4)= 1/3x+2

6x1/2(x-4)=6x1/3x+2x6

3(x-4)=2x+12

3x-12=2x+12

3x-2x=12+12

A sales person in a stereo store is given a choice of two different compensation plans. One plan offers a weekly salary of $250
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

<em>The salesperson needs to sell 10 stereos to make the same money on both plans</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll analyze both choices for the compensation plans of a salesperson.

One plan offers a fixed weekly salary of $250 plus a $25 commission for each stereo sold. The function than models this plan is:

P1=250+25x

Where x is the number of stereos sold.

The other plan offers no fixed salary but a $50 commission on each stereo sold. The function of this plan is:

P2=50x

To find the equilibrium point for both plans, we make P1=P2:

250+25x=50x

Simplifying:

25x=250

Solving:

x = 250 / 25 = 10

The salesperson needs to sell 10 stereos to make the same money on both plans
