That's the wrong right triangle to draw. Reading the problem carefully we want this one, figure attached.
So we have the usual 30/60/90 triangle but not to scale. The sides come in ratio 1:√3:2=x:100:hypotenuse. So
x = 100/√3 ≈ 57.735
We add that to our 133.2 for the total height of the Cyclone, 190.935.
Answer: 190.9
X = amount of 50% solution
y = total amount after mixing
Note that the amount of alcohol in the 20% solution is 80 (0.2) = 16 oz.
We have 2 unknowns, so we need 2 equations:
first, we can write the equation for the total volume:
y = x + 80
next, apply the percentages to get an equation for the amount of alcohol:
0.4 y = 0.5 x + 16
Finally, solve the pair of equations (in this case, by substitution of the 1st into the second:
0.4 (x + 80) = 0.5x + 16
0.4 x + 32 = 0.5X + 16
rearrange and combine like terms:
0.1x = 16
x = 160
from the 1st equation:
y = 160 + 80 = 240
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Our function is 
. Notice that our possible roots are when x + 4 = 0 and when x + 7 = 0. So, our roots are -4 and -7.
However, the power above x + 4 is even, meaning the graph will simply <em>touch</em> the x-axis at x = -4, but not pass through. The power above x + 7, though, is odd, which means the graph will <em>cross</em> the x-axis.
Thus, the answer is x = -7.
There are 16 3/8 in 6 inches
