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

Can someone help me with these two questions I’m stuck! For the first one I thought I would need to multiply 5 by pi but it turn
hichkok12 [17]

1. First, we need to approximate <em>the radius</em>. That is the distance from that middle point to the edge. The broom is about half the distance. That means that the radius is about <em>10 feet</em>. Also, multiplying the radius by π will get you nowhere. To find the area, you need to use the equation <em>A = πr²</em>. We know know that r = 10, so 10²π ≈ 100 * 3.1 = 310 ft².

2. Complementary angles <em>add up to 90°, which forms a right angle</em>. Supplementary angles <em>add up to 180°, which forms a straight angle, or a line</em>. We can ignore A and B, since there isn't any right angles. Also, ∠RVS makes a straight line with ∠SVT and ∠RVU. From our options, we can see that C has the fitting description.

6! = (4! x (6-4)!) =<br>​
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

<h2>6! = 720</h2><h2>(4! × (6 - 4)!) = 48</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

n! = 1 · 2 · 3 · 4 · ... · n

6! = 1 · 2 · 3 · 4 · 5 · 6 = 720

(4! × (6 - 4)!) = (1 · 2 · 3 · 4 × 2!) = 24 × 1 · 2 = 24 × 2 = 48

PLEASE HELP ME <br>Multiply the monomials: <br><br>a2x5b, −0.6axb2 and 0.6a2b3
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

-0.36 a^{5}b^{6} x^{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a^2x^5b,,\ -0.6axb^2,\ and\ 0.6a^2b^3

Required

Multiply

The above can be written as

a^2x^5b * -0.6axb^2\ * \ 0.6a^2b^3

Split the above expression

a^2*x^5*b * -0.6*a*x*b^2\ * \ 0.6*a^2*b^3

Collect like terms

-0.6 * 0.6 * a^2*a*a^2*b *b^2 *b^3*x^5*x

Apply first law on indices

-0.36  * a^{2+1+2} *b^{1+2+3} *x^{5+1}

-0.36  * a^{5} *b^{6} *x^{6}

-0.36 a^{5}b^{6} x^{6}

Hence, a^2x^5b * -0.6axb^2\ * \ 0.6a^2b^3 is equivalent to -0.36 a^{5}b^{6} x^{6}
