Shawna wanted to boat across the river, but did not know how wide it was. She walked along the shore for 90 feet and sighted across the water to the point she wanted to go. The angle that the sight line made with the shoreline was 65°. What was the distance across the river?​

Answers

Answer 1

The distance across the river, given the angle of the line of sight and the

distance along the shoreline is found using trigonometric ratios.

The distance across the river is approximately 193 feet.

Reasons:

The distance along the the shore Shawna walked before sighting across the river = 90 feet

The angle made by the line of sight and the shoreline, θ = 65°

Required:

The distance across the river.

Solution:

Taking the initial location of Shawna to be the closest place to point she wanted to go across the river, we have;

The shortest distance across the river = A perpendicular line

Therefore, the following sides, form a right triangle;

The line of sight.The distance along the shoreline Shawna walked, andThe closest distance across the river.

Where:

The line of sight = The hypotenuse side

The distance she walked = The adjacent side to angle 65° angle

The closest distance across the river = The opposite side to the 65° angle

By trigonometric ratio, we have;

[tex]\displaystyle tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite \, side \, to\ angle}{Adjacent\, side \, to\, angle} = \mathbf{\frac{Distance \ across \ the \ river}{Distance \ along \ the \ shoreline}}[/tex]

Which gives;

Opposite side to angle = tan(θ) × Adjacent side to angle

Therefore;

Distance across the river = tan(65°) × 90 feet ≈ 193.0 feet

The distance across the river is approximately 193 feet

Solve for a
1/12 a +21 = 25

Answers

Hope This Helped!

Step-by-step explanation:

First off we need to take the whole equation and multiply it so that we can get rid of the fractioned exponent. The number we would use is 12, giving us the new equation: a + 252 = 300. We then can subtract 252 from both sides of the equation, to get the exponent by itself and intentionally create an answer. This would be: a + 252 = 300,-252=48 or a = 48

We are left with A being equal to 48.

[tex]\dfrac 1{12} \cdot a +21 = 25\\\\\\\implies \dfrac a{12} = 25-21\\\\\\\implies \dfrac a{12} =4 \\\\\\\implies a = (12)(4) = 48[/tex]

How can I Graph

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

- 7x = - 105 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

x = 15

A line with equation x = c is a vertical line parallel to the y- axis passing through all points with an x- coordinate of c

Thus x = 15 is a vertical line passing through all points with an x- coordinate of 15

Astronomers often measure large distances using astronomical units (AU) where 1 AU is the average distance from Earth to the Sun. In the image, drepresents the distance from a star to the Sun. Using a technique called "stellar parallax," astronomers determined 0 is 0.00001389 degrees.
write an expression to calculate d for any star

Answers

By calculating the distance of a star to the Sun, astronomers can calculate the distance from Earth to the star.

[tex]\displaystyle \mathrm{The \ \mathbf{expression} \ to \ calculate \ \mathit{d} \ for \ any \ \mathbf{star} \ is; \ \underline{d \ is \ \frac{1 \, AU}{tan(\theta)}}}[/tex]

Reasons

The given parameters are;

The distance from the star to the Sun = d

The angle formed by the ray to the Sun and the ray to Earth from the star, θ = 0.00001389 degrees

The average distance from Earth to the Sun = 1 AU

By trigonometric ratios, we have;

[tex]\displaystyle tan(\theta) = \mathbf{\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]\displaystyle tan(\theta) = \frac{1}{d}[/tex]

The expression to calculate for d for any star is therefore;

[tex]\displaystyle \underline{ d \ is \ \frac{1 \, AU}{tan(\theta) }}[/tex]

The angle given for θ for the referenced star is θ = 0.00001389

Therefore;

[tex]\displaystyle d = \frac{1 \, AU}{tan(0.00001389^{\circ}) } \approx 4,124,966.13 \, AU[/tex]

The length of a rectangle is 4 more than its width. The perimeter is 40 feet.

What are the length and width of the rectangle?

Hint: The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P = 2l + 2w.


The width is 8 ft and the length is 12 ft.


The width is 13 ft and the length is 7 ft.


The width is 7 ft and the length is 13 ft.


The width is 12 ft and the length is 8 ft.

Answers

Answer:

the Answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

The perimeter is 40 feet and the length of a rectangle is 4 more than its width.

Let the length be " l " and the width be " w ".

As we know that

Rectangle is a four sided polygonal figure, i.e, a quadrilateral, in which the opposite sides are of equal length and are parallel. Also its diagonals bisects each other.

[tex].\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \huge \boxed{ \bf{ \: \: \: \: \: \: }} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \tiny\sf{A \: rectangle} [/tex]

Perimeter = 2 (l + w) unitsArea = lb sq.units

According to the question

Width = w feet Length = w+4 feet

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \pink{\bf \longrightarrow Perimeter _{(Rectangular) } = 2( Length + Breadth) }[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \bf \longrightarrow Perimeter _{(Rectangular) } = 2 (l + w)[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow 40 = 2( w+ 4 +w)[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow 40 = 2 ( 2w +4)[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow 40 = 4w +8[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow 4w = 40-8[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow 4w = 32[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex]\sf \longrightarrow w = \cancel{\dfrac{32}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \pink{\bf\longrightarrow w = 8 \:feet}[/tex]

Width of perimeter is = 8 feet

Substituting the value of w–

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex]\purple{\bf \longrightarrow Length\: of \: rectangle = (w+4)\: feet }[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex]\bf \longrightarrow Length\: of \: rectangle = 8+ 4 \:feet [/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex]\purple{\bf \longrightarrow Length\: of \: rectangle = 12\: feet}[/tex]

Henceforth, The width is 8 ft and the length is 12 ft.

jared bought 7 cans of paint. a can of red paint costs 3.75. a can of black paint costs 2.75. jared spent 22.25 in all. how many cans of black (b) and how many cans of red (r) did he buy?

r+b=7

3.75 + 2.75 = 22.25

this is a lesson in 8th grade math.​

Answers

Answer:

Hallo, I will help you with the problem T^T

Step-by-step explanation:

3.75r + 2.75b = 22.25

3.75r = The amount a red can costs, MULTIPLIED BY the amount of red cans they bought!

2.75b = The amount a black can costs, MULTIPLIED BY the amount of black cans they bought!

So this means that they bought:

3 cans of red paint.

And 4 cans of black paint.

Now you may be thinking, how do you know?

If you multiply the COST 3.75, by 3 cans of red paint, you get 11.25

And then if you multiply the COST of the black paint (The cost for a can of black paint is 2.75) multiply that by 4, you get 11 :0

So add 11 + 11.25 and you get 22.25 :]

2.Then you look for the key word which is quotient and that means to divide

    All of our symbols are in now. Time for the next step

This part us know what we are dividing and adding.

Now 2+ b/5
