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

Starlight tree farms sells douglas firs and noble first one December they sold 139 more douglas first than noble firs the total
Aloiza [94]
Part A:

Given that <span>Starlight tree farms sells Douglas Firs and Noble First.

Let </span>n be the number of Noble Fir trees sold, then<span> if they sold 139 more Douglas First than Noble Firs, this means that the number of Douglas First trees sold is n + 139.

Given that the total number of trees sold was 377, then we have, n + n + 139 = 377, which means that 2n + 139 = 377

Therefore, the equation that could be used to solve for n, the number of Noble Fir trees sold is 2n + 139 = 377.


Part B:

</span><span>Given that you are driving 55 miles per hour and you must drive a total of 440 miles. If you already driven 275 miles, then, the equation representing the number of hours, h, it will take to reach your destination is given by 55h + 275 = 440.

Subtracting 275 from both sides of the equation gives:

</span>55h+275-275=440-275 \\  \\ \Rightarrow55h=165
<span>
Dividing both sides by 55 gives:

</span>\frac{55h}{55} = \frac{165}{55}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow h=3
<span>
Therefore, the time it will take you to reach your destination is 3 hours.</span>

Solve for y 2x-5y=10
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

y = 2/5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2x - 5y = 10

Step 2: Solve for <em>y</em>

  1. Subtract 2x on both sides: -5y = 10 - 2x
  2. Divide both sides by -5: y = -2 + 2/5x
  3. Rewrite: y = 2/5x - 2
