Answer:

height of the leaning tower of pisa is 179 feet

it makes a 5.1 degrees from the vertical.

it's angle to the ground would be 90 - 5.1 = 84.9 degrees.

the height of the vertical would be one leg of a right triangle.

to find the vertical height of the tower, we would take the sine of 84.9 using the formula:

sine (84.9) = opposite divided by hypotenuse.

opposite i x

hypotenuse is 179

formula becomes:

sine (84.9) = x/179

multiply both sides of this equation by 179 to get:

x = 179 * sine (84.9)

this results in:

x = 178.2913507 feet

3c-2(c+10)=7c-5(c+2)
jeka94

Answer: C= -10

Step-by-step explanation: First step: simplify both sides of the equation

3c−2(c+10)=7c−5(c+2)

3c+(−2)(c)+(−2)(10)=7c+(−5)(c)+(−5)(2) (Distribute)

3c+−2c+−20=7c+−5c+−10

(3c+−2c)+(−20)=(7c+−5c)+(−10) (Combine Like Terms)

c + -20 = 2c - 10

c - 20 = 2c - 10

Step 2: Subtract 2c from both sides

c - 20 - 2c = 2c -10 - 2c

−c−20=−10

Step 3: Add 20 to both sides

−c−20+20=−10+20

−c=10

Step 4: Divide both sides by -1

-c/-1 = 10/-1

C=-10
