Mountain officials want to know the length of a new ski lift from A to C , as shown in the figure below. They measure angle DAC

to be 32° . They then move 960 feet to point B and measure angle DBC to be 18° . What is the length of the new ski lift from A to C ? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

We assume that the hill is represented by points ACD  and the ski lift is represented by points BCD. From the description above, points CDB would have an angle of 90 degrees. Then, we would have:

sin (32) = CD / 960
CD = 508.72

tan 32 = 508.72 / AD
AD = 814.13

Therefore, the distance would be 814.13 - 508.72 = 305.4 ft.

Find the side length of triangle.
Llana [10]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the equation:

3x+12=4x+8

12=4x-3x+8

12=x+8

12-8=x

4=x

x=4

The way i got this answer was by solving the equation using the following steps. Since you're solving for one side and have two different equations, put an equal sign in between the two equations to get the equation set up above. Then you need to have the x variable on one side, instead of both sides, so you take 3x and subtract it from both sides, leaving x on one side, because 4x-3x is equal to 1x, or just x. Then we need to have what is not attached to a variable on the other side to make it easier to solve, so you would need to subtract 8 from both sides to get rid of the 8 on the side with the variable, because if you subtract 12 from both sides, it will just make it more confusing to solve, and then 12-8 is equal to 4, so you get x is equal to 4.

amid [387]

Answer:

t = 13.2 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

An athlete ran the 100 meter sprint in 13.245 seconds. We need to round off the time to the nearest tenth.

Here, t = 13.245 s

In order to round off to the nearest tenth, thousandths place and hundredth place gets eliminated.

So, t = 13.2 s

So, time is 13.2 seconds.

How do you graph y=-3x+2 and -3x-y=-2 (change into slope intercept form first) then check your answer. The picture is how the fo
Leni [432]
Y=-3x+2:
Already in slope intercept form
Graph by plotting a point on (0,2)
Then move 3 points up and 1 to the right and plot the point and keep doing that a couple times

-3x-y=-2:
Add -3x on both sides
The result would be
-y=3x-2
Divide everything by negative 1
Y=-3x+2

Both equations are the same so they are the same line

How can you use 4×7 to find 8×7
Natasha_Volkova [10]
If you think about it, 4x7 is half of 8x7 (If you multiply 4, 7, and 2, you get 8x7). So really you can just multiply 4x7 by 2 and you will get 8x7!
