Engineers and surveyors often determine distances that cannot be measured directly by using similar triangles like the ones show

n below.
Using the information from the drawing, which of these is closest to the distance from Point A on one bank to Point E on the opposite bank?


A.59 feet
B.102 feet
C.118 feet
D.139 feet

Answer:

102 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram attached.

From right triangle Δ ADC,  

\sin 30 = \frac{DC}{AC} = \frac{80}{AC}

⇒ AC = 160 ft. {Since \sin 30 = \frac{1}{2} }

Now, given that BC = 42 ft.

Hence, AB = AC - BC = 160 - 42 = 118 ft.

Now, from right triangle Δ AEB we can write

\cos 30 = \frac{AE}{AB} = \frac{AE}{118}

⇒ AE = 118 \cos 30 = 102.19 ft ≈ 102 ft.

Therefore, the closest distance from point A on one bank to point E on the opposite bank is 102 ft. (Answer)

Answer: 3 3/4 yards. I think.

Step-by-step explanation: 10 1/2=10 2/4 2 1/2=2 2/4

10 2/4 - 2 2/4= 8. 8= 7 4/4. 7 4/4 - 4 1/4= 3 3/4.

Andre and Diego were each trying to solve 2x+6=3x-8 Describe the first step they each make to the equation
avanturin [10]
The first step was the combine the like terms; in this example he is subtracting the 3x on both sides of the =.

If you were to solve the equation it would look like this:

2x+6=3x-8
-3x -3x

-x+6=-8
-6 -6

-x=-14
/-1 /-1

x=14

The theorical probability is 1/4, because there are 4 possible outcome, and they are equally likely to be picked (the sectors have the same area)

The experimental probability is 3/20, becuase the red sector was picked 3 times in 20 trials.

I NEED HELP PLS!!!!
hram777 [196]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

For these kind of problems, its best to use a Venn Diagram.

Lets break down the information:

<em>There are 50 students total.</em>

<em>25 take Math competiton classes.</em>

<em>29 take Geometry</em>

<em>12 take history and </em><em><u>no math classes</u></em>

<em>19 take </em><em><u>both math classes</u></em>

Now, make a Venn Diagram.

[Look at the photo attached. Also, the blank spaces in the Venn Diagram are ones that no student takes.]

The 12 taking history and no math classes and 3 kids not taking any of those classes look like they're the only ones not taking either math class.

12 + 3 = 15.

So the answer is 15.

[I'm not sure if this is correct or if I made a mistake so please let me know! Thank you! I hope this helps!]

:)
