Answer:

119.2 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the ground distance covered, we must find what the values given are for. 40° is the angle that is θ. 100 ft is the altitude, which is the height. We must find the ground distance covered. So we can find using the tan formula:

tanθ = Opposite side ÷ adjacent side

The opposite side is the height and the adjacent side is the ground distance, which we are going to assume as x. So when all values are substituted:

tan 40° = 100 ÷ x

So,

x = 100 ÷ tan 40°

x = 119.2 ft

Anybody know the answer?

Y=x-2+3
I put x-2 because when graphing it's the opposite so it would technically be x+2
Then the +3 for the y chords which go up by 3 ! if this is wrong then try Y= (x-2)+3

2. In the equation 5(x - 3) = 25, what should you do after using the Distributive Property?​
son4ous [18]

Answer:

umm... This how I learned from the chapter simple equation. Hopefully helps

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 3) = 25  we have to find the value of 'x'

so transpose 5 x to the other side = (x - 3) = 25 divided by 5 becuz it was multiplication on the other side so it is equal to = (x - 3) = 5

Now we transpose -3 which is equal to = x = 5 + 3 = 8

so, <u>x = 8</u>

<u />

<u>hopefully it helps!!!!!!!</u>
