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

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Given, $b(x) = (\frac{6}{7})^{x}$

The table for the function are:

When x = -2

$b(-2) = (\frac{6}{7})^{-2}$

$b(-2) = \frac{1}{(\frac{6}{7})^{2}}$

$b(-2) = \frac{1}{(\frac{36}{49})}$

$b(-2) = 1*\frac{49}{36}$

$b(-2) = \frac{49}{36}$

When x = -1

$b(-1) = (\frac{6}{7})^{-1}$

$b(-1) = \frac{1}{(\frac{6}{7})}$

$b(-1) = 1*\frac{7}{6}$

$b(-2) = \frac{7}{6}$

When x = 0

$b(0) = (\frac{6}{7})^{0}$

$b(0) = \frac{6^0}{7^0}$

$b(0) = \frac{1}{1}$

$b(0) = 1$

When x = 1

$b(1) = (\frac{6}{7})^{1}$

$b(1) = \frac{6}{7}$

When x = 2

$b(2) = (\frac{6}{7})^{2}$

$b(2) = \frac{6^2}{7^2}$

$b(2) = \frac{36}{49}$

Answer:

40+20=72-12

60=60

Step-by-step explanation:

4*10+4*5=6*12-6*2

40+20=72-12

60+60

Answer:

36 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

lets think of it as a ratio,

80:w

20:9

so we want 20 to get to 80

and 9 to get to w right?

so if we just move the smaller rectangle to the corner, then 20*4=80 right?

and if we do that, we do it to 9 as well, 9*4=36

w=36
