The tangent function gives the ratio of vertical to horizontal distance in this case.
.. vertical distance = (horizontal distance)*tan(angle of depression)
.. = (40 m)*tan(50°)
.. vertical distance ≈ 47.7 m
The absolute value of a number is the distance from point to the origin. Since Paula is located at a position of −12 feet relative to the ground, then the distance from point -12 on the number line to the origin is 12 (distance cannot be negative).
Thus, |-12|=12 and Paula is at a distance of 12 feet.
Answer: correct choice is C
Answer:
a) $259.54 b) 317.21
Step-by-step explanation:
45% of $576.75 is $259.54
