Answer:

Approximately, there is a distance of 25,6 foot between the base of the flagpole to the house.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Height of pole = 20 foot

Angle between pole and ground = 85 degrees

Angle of elevation from the base of the house to the top of the pole = 55 degrees

Then, the third angle of the triangle can be found as:

Angle sum property of triangle: The sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

x + 85 + 55 = 180\\x = 180 - 140\\x  = 40^\circ

Thus, by the sin rule, we can write:

\dfrac{\text{Distance from the base of the flagpole to the house}}{\sin 55} = \dfrac{20}{\sin 40}\\\\\Rightarrow \text{Distance from the base of the flagpole to the house} = 20\times \dfrac{\sin 55}{\sin 40}\\\\=20\times \dfrac{0.82}{0.64} = 25.625

Approximately, there is a distance of 25,6 foot between the base of the flagpole to the house.

dedylja [7]
So if one bit of the length, is half the size of the other bit then we can make the following equation, for x being the length of rope:

x + 2x = 66
3x = 66
x = 22

That is the length, of the smaller one (half the big one), so 2x = 44. Hence d) is your answer.

Hope I helped!

OMG PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!!!!! A local charity sponsors a 5K race to raise money. It receives $55 per race entry and $10,000 in
Dominik [7]
Start with how much profit they are making off each race entry. People pay $55 to race, but $15 of that is expenses so they are only profiting $40 for each entry. Now write one side of the equality. They start with $10,000 in donations, and then have a $40 profit for each race entry. So 10,000+40x. X will represent the unknown number of race entries. What do we want that expression to be equal to? We want 10000+40x>55000. It can also be greater than or equal to, not just greater than. Solve for x. Subtract 10000 from each side resulting in 40x>45000. Divide each side by 40 to solve for x. X>1125. X needs to bbe greater than or equal to 1125. If there are 1125 race entries, the charity will profit exactly $55000, so the lowest number of race entries is 1125

The average temperature for four days days was 22 degrees what must the temperature be on the fifth day in order to make 23 degr
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

27 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the average is to be 23 degrees over 5 days then the total of the temperatures will be 5*23 = 115 degrees.

The total over the first 4 days = 22*4 = 88 degrees, so the temperature on the fifth day has to be 115 - 88 = 27 degrees.

Two numbers are randomly selected on a number line numbered from 1 to 9. Match each scenario to its probability.
Talja [164]

Answer:

1/9; 4/9; 1/12; 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability that both numbers are greater than 6 if the same number can be chosen twice--> 3/9 * 3/9 = 1/9

the probability that both numbers are less than 7 if the same number can be chosen twice --> 6/9 * 6/9 = 4/9

the probability that both numbers are odd numbers less than 6 if the same numbers cannot be chosen twice --> 3/9 * 2/8 = 1/12

the probability that both numbers are even numbers if the same numbers cannot be chosen twice --> 4/9 * 3/8 = 1/6
