Answer: The distance from the base of one pole to the top of the other pole is approximately 108.17 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is shown in the attached photo. Two congruent right angle triangles, ABC and BAD are formed. Since the triangles are the same, we would consider only one of them.
Let the distance from the base of one pole to the top of the other pole be x feet.
Considering triangle ABC,
Hypotenuse = x feet
Opposite side = 60 feet
Adjacent side = 90 feet
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
Hypotenuse^2 = Opposite^2 + Adjacent ^2
This becomes
x^2 = 60^2 + 90^2
x^2 = 3600 + 8100 = 11700
x = √11700 = 108.16653826392
Approximately 108.17 feet
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the slope m use the slope formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, - 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 1) ← 2 points on the line
m = = =
Answer:
Work:
first you want to change 1/2 so the denominator is a 4
1/2 is equivalent to 2/4
now you have -1 1/4 + 2/4
then you want to get rid of the whole number and make -1 1/4 into a fraction
-1 is -4/4 so add that to the 1/4
now you have -5/4 + 2/4
you can add that now easily and get -3/4
Answer:
48 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 16 ounces in one pound.
16x3= 48
When you multiply or divide in scientific notation, you just add or subtract the exponents. When you add or subtract in scientific notation, you have to make the exponents the same before you can do anything else.
