\sf\huge\underline{\star Solution:-}

\rightarrowLet the women's height be AE and distance between the women and tower be AC.

Also let the height of tower be BC.

\rightarrowNow, clearly it is forming a triangle.

So, in triangle ABC,

\rightarrow\sf{Tan50° \:= \: \frac{BC}{AC}}

\rightarrow\sf{1.19 \:= \: \frac{BC}{50}}

\rightarrow\sf{1.19 ×50\:= \: BC}

\rightarrow\sf{59.5m\:= \: BC}

\rightarrowHence, BC = 59.5m

So, BD(total height of the tower)\sf{ = \:BC+CD}

\sf{= \:59.5+1.65}

\sf{=\: 61.15m}

Therefore, total height of the tower =\sf\purple{ 61.15m.}

Answer:

61.24 m to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 50 = H / 50  

H =  50 tan 50

Height of the tower = H + height of the woman

= 50 tan 50 + 1.65

= 61.2377 m

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the leg in the triangle shown below.
Natali [406]
The answer to what the length of the leg would be is 15.

You would do this problem by first writing down your Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Since we have our hypotenuse which is c^2 in our equation, we would write or insert the number we have.

So our equation could be that a or b leg equals 20, it doesn’t matter which one.

So we could write, 20^2 + b^2 = 25^2. So we don’t know what b leg is.

First we should figure out what 20^2 is and what 25^2 is.

20^2 is 400 and 25^2 is 625.

Our equation now comes to 400 + b^2 = 625.

Now we take 400 and subtract it from
625 -> 400 + b^2 = 625
-400.

So 625 - 400 comes out to be 225.

Lastly instead of squaring or putting 225 to the second power, we do the opposite.

So instead of squaring 225 we must square root 225. √ 225 .

The square root of √ 225 comes out to be 15.

A store is running a sale where all of the items are 35% off the normal price. The price of a video game you want to buy is norm
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Discounted price= $40.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

A store is running a sale where all of the items are 35% off the normal price. The price of a video game you want to buy is normally $61.97.

<u>To calculate the discounted selling price, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Discounted price= selling price*(1 - discount rate)

Discounted price= 61.97*(1 - 0.35)

Discounted price= $40.28

the first term of an arithmetic sequence is 2 and the sum of the first 15 terms is 292.5. Find the common difference
adelina 88 [10]

Given:

First term of an arithmetic sequence is 2.

Sum of first 15 terms = 292.5

To find:

The common difference.

Solution:

We have,

First term: a=2

Sum of first 15 terms: S_{15}=292.5

The formula of sum of first n terms of an AP is

S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

Where, a is first term and d is common difference.

Putting S_{15}=292.5, n=15 and a=2 in the above formula, we get

292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[2(2)+(15-1)d]

292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[4+14d]

292.5=15[2+7d]

Divide both sides by 15.

\dfrac{292.5}{15}=2+7d

19.5=2+7d

19.5-2=7d

17.5=7d

Dividing both sides by 7, we get

\dfrac{17.5}{7}=d

2.5=d

Therefore, the common difference is 2.5.
