A forest ranger in the west observation tower spots a fire 41° north of east. Fifteen miles directly east, the forest ranger in

the east tower spots the same fire at 56° north of west. How far away is the ranger who is closest to the fire? Approximate the distance by rounding to the nearest hundredth of a mile.

Draw a horizontal line AB of length 15 miles to represent the positions of the two forest rangers.
Point A is to the left and point B is to the right. 
Complete triangle ABC so that m∠A = 41° and m∠B = 56°.
The point C represents the location of the fire.

Let x =  length of BC. It is the shortest distance from the forest ranger B to the fire because BC is opposite the smaller angle of 41°.

Because the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, 
m∠C = 180° - (41° + 56°) = 83°.

From the Law of Sines,
x/sin(41) = 15/sin(83)
x = 15*[sin(41)/sin(83)] = 9.915 mi

Answer:
The forest ranger closest to the fire is at a distance of  9.92 miles (nearest hundredth).

ΔABC is dilated using a scale factor of 12 to produce ΔA'B'C'. Select all of the statements that apply to the transformation.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Options (3) and (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is a dilated using a scale factor of \frac{1}{2} to produce image triangle ΔA'B'C'.

Since, dilation is a rigid transformation,

Angles of both the triangles will be unchanged or congruent.

m∠A = m∠A' and m∠B = m∠B'

Since, sides of ΔA'B'C' = \frac{1}{2} of the sides of ΔABC

Area of ΔA'B'C' = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Area of triangle ABC})

Area of ΔABC > Area of ΔA'B'C'

Since, angles of ΔABC and ΔA'B'C' are congruent, both the triangles will be similar.

ΔABC ~ ΔA'B'C'

Therefore, Option (3) and Option (6) are the correct options.

Each time Kristine gets paid, she spends $20 and saves the rest. If the amount Kristine earns is represented by x and the amount
faust18 [17]

We are given that Kristine spends $20 and saves the rest each time she get paid.

We can use slope-intercept form y=mx+b to represent the equation.

Where x represents the amount Kristine earns and y represents the amount she saves.

Kristine spends $20. Therefore b= -20.

Plugging mx as just x and b=-20.

<h3>y = x-20.</h3><h3>If we plug y=0, we get </h3><h3>0 = x-20</h3><h3>x=20.</h3><h3>We can see in 4th option we have x-intercept =20.</h3><h3>Therefore, correct option is 4th option. </h3><h3 />

The table below shows the functions to represent the sale f(t), in thousands, of four companies in t years.
Tcecarenko [31]
Hi there

the companies showed an exponential growth in sale are

Company C with
f(t) = 1.26t

Company D with
f(t) = 1.09t

Because
1+r where r is the rate of growth

the rate of growth of Company c is 1+26%

The rate of growth of company D is
1+9%


So it's option d

Good luck!
