Two fire rangers in watch towers that are 10 miles apart spotted a fire at the same time. The first ranger indicated that the po

sition of the fire made an angle of 39° with the line between the towers. The second ranger indicated that it made an angle of 34° with the same line. How far is the second tower from the fire?

Answer:5.455 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the height of watch towers are same(h)

and distance between them is 10 miles

first ranger indicated angle=39^{\circ}

second ranger indicated angle=34^{\circ}

let x be the distance from second ranger to fire

thus \frac{h}{10-x}=tan34

\frac{h}{x}=tan39

equating h values

10tan39=1.48429x

x=5.444  miles

What value of z will make △DEF ≅ △JKI
Leto [7]

Answer:

z = 11

Explanation:

5y + 13 = 6y

Subtract 5y by both sides.

13 = y

Next,

z + 22 = 3z

Subtract z by both sides.

22 = 2z

Then, divide both sides by 2.

11 = z

Finally plug those answers into the equations.

5(13) + 13 = 78

6(13) = 78

(11) + 22 = 33

3(11) = 33

So △DEF ≅ △JKI because the value of z = 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

2s+h=50

2(10)+h=50

20+h=50

-20. -20

h=30

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that satisfies the following condition.passes through (20, 1), parallel t
Dmitrij [34]

Slope-intercept form:  y = mx + b  

(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)

For lines to be parallel, they have to have the same slope.

y = 6x + 6    The slope of this line is 6, so the parallel line's slope is also 6.

Now that you know m = 6, substitute/plug it into the equation:

y = mx + b         Plug in 6 for "m" in the equation  

y = 6x + b     To find "b", plug in the point (20, 1) into the equation

1 = 6(20) + b

1 = 120 + b       Subtract 120 on both sides to get "b" by itself

1 - 120 = 120 - 120 + b

-119 = b         Now that you know b = -119, plug it into the equation

y = 6x - 119
