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

Solve for x: 1/2 (10x+6)=-2x+10
pickupchik [31]

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute 1 for x

1/2(10(1)+6) = -2(1)+10

1/2(10+6) = -2+10

5+3 = -2+10

Look at this sphere:
ANEK [815]

In the equation for surface area the radius is squared ( r^2)

If the radius is doubled, the radius would be 2^2 more which equals 4

The surface area would be 4 times the old surface area.

Find the value of x.
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that every triangle no matter will equal 180 degrees. So we will make an algebreic expression.

2x+8+60=180

When doing algebreic expression we want to simply as much as possible to find our answer. First we will do 60-180. Since the expression is adding 60 we want to do the opposite and subtract is by 60 on both sides. SO now we have 2x+8=120. We do the same thing with 8. Subtract it on  both sides since its adding in the expression. Now we have 2x=112. FInally, we will divide by two on both sides since its multiplying on the other side of the equation. So now we are left with x=56.
