Two hockey players are trying to kill some time. They are throwing their mini-sticks against the building from a distance to see who can get there stick to stand up the tallest. The winner was lying at a 43 degree angle. If the mini-stick was 9 inches tall, how high up on the building did the stick touch?

9.7

Step-by-step explanation:

tan=opposite/adjacent

tan=9/adjacent

tan 43=9/x

x tan 43=9

0.9325x=9

0.9325x/0.9325=9/0.9325

=9.65

hence;

x=9.7

step-by-step explanation:

because 1/3 is a fraction. we can tell because there is a divisor symbol between the 1 and the 3. if we were to add 2 fractions together, we would add the numerators, which is the number on top, but not the denominators, which is the number on the bottom

1/3+1/3=2/3

hope this !
