The Empire State Building in New York City is 1250 ft tall. What is the distance from the top of this building to the horizon to the nearest mile? (Hint: 5280 ft 1 mi; radius of Earth 4000 mi)

33 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration forms a right angled triangle. The opposite side of the triangle is where we are looking for . The adjacent side is the radius 4000 miles.

5280 ft = 1 mile

735 ft = ? miles

cross multiply

735/5280

miles = 0.13920454545  miles

The hypotenuse side is the height of the building + 4000 miles = 0.140 + 4000 = 4000.14  miles

using Pythagoras theorem

c² = a² + b²

c = 4000.14

a = 4000

4000.14² = 4000² + b²

b² = 4000.14² - 4000²

b² = 16001120.0196  - 16000000

b² = 1120.0196

b = √1120.0196

b = 33.4666938911

b = 33 miles

x=-7

step-by-step explanation:

x+3=-10

-10+3=-7

x=-7

6x = 48

i hope this . 6 cards each and a total of $48. dvide each side by 6 and you will have your answer.
