The length of the island will be given as follows:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
thus:
tan75.8= 3000/a1
a1=3000tan75.8
a1=11855.885 ft

also:
tan15.6=3000/a2
a2=3000tan15.6
a2=837.62 ft
Thus the length of the island will be:
11855.885-837.615
=11,018.24 ft

Word problem for (2t+5)-t=26
SCORPION-xisa [38]

For this case we must pose a verbal problem equivalent to the following expression:

(2t + 5) -t = 26

So, we have:

(2t + 5): The sum of double a number plus five.

We propose the expression:

A number subtracted from the sum of double the same number plus five equals twenty-six.

Answer:

A number subtracted from the sum of double the same number plus five equals twenty-six.

The volume of air inside a rubber ball with radius r can be found using the function V(r) = four-thirds pi r cubed. What does V
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that The volume of air inside a rubber ball with radius r can be found using the function V(r) = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3, this means that the volume of the air inside the rubber ball is a function of the radius of the rubber ball, that is as the radius of the rubber ball changes, also the volume of the ball changes.

As seen from the function, the radius is directly proportional to the volume of the ball, if the radius increases, the volume also increases.

V(\frac{5}{7} ) is equal to the volume of the ball when the radius of the ball is \frac{5}{7}. Therefore:

V(\frac{5}{7} )=\frac{4}{3} \pi *(\frac{5}{7} )^3=1.53\ unit^3
