From the setup of the problem, the "length of the top of the bookcase, measured along the attic ceiling" will be the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the length "AB". We have both the angle between AB and AC and the length of AC (3.24 meters), so we can use trigonometric identities.

The cosine of the 40 degree angle between AB and AC is equivalent to the length of AC divided by the length of AB. Equivalently, we have:

cos(40) = \frac{3.24}{h}

where "h", the hypotenuse, is the length we want. Rearranging the formula to solve for h we have that

$h = \frac{3.24}{cos(40)}$

which is 4.2295... meters. Converting to centimeters (multiplying by 100) we have that h = 422.95... centimeters, or if we round the value, h = 423 centimeters.

Softa [21]
Hello!

Find the cost of each individual item.

1.28 / 2 = 0.64

Each roll of tape costs $0.64.

0.87 / 3 = 0.29

Each notebook costs $0.29.

Each highlighter costs $1.59.

1.98 / 2 = 0.99

Each pen costs $0.99.

One roll of tape is $0.64, two notepads are $0.58 two highlighters cost $3.18, two pens are 1.98.

Add them up: .

0.64 + 0.58 + 3.18 + 1.98 = 6.38

ANSWER:

You would pay B. $6.38.

Answer:

Correct answer:  (a - 4) · (a + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a² - 4a - 24 + 6a = a² - 4a + 6a - 24 = a (a - 4) + 6 (a - 4) = (a - 4) · (a + 6)

God is with you!!!

Can anyone help me out on this not too sure on this
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

y = 0.1x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Points on the x-axis (x1, x2) = (-3, 7)

Points on the y-axis (y1, y2) = (-7, -6)

First of all, we would find the slope;

Mathematically, slope is given by the formula;

Slope = \frac{Change \; in \; y \; axis}{Change \; in \; x \; axis}

Slope, m = \frac {y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Slope = (-6 - (-7))/(7 - (-3))

Slope = (-6 + 7)/(7 + 3)

Slope = 1/10

Slope = 0.1

Next, we would write the equation using the formula;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-7) = 0.1(x - (-3))

y + 7 = 0.1(x + 3)

y + 7 = 0.1x + 3

y = 0.1x + 3 - 7

y = 0.1x - 4
