Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.
Let h the height of the hill. =
At position A, the angle of elevation is 40°, and the horizontal distance to the foot of the hill is x.
By definition,
tan(40°) = h/x h = x tan40 = 0.8391x
(1)
At position B, Joe is (x - 450) ft from the foot of the hill. His angle of elevation is
40 + 18 = 58°.
By definition, tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)
h = (x - 450) tan(58°) = 1.6003(x-450)
h = 1.6003x - 720.135 (2)
Equate (1) and (2).
1.6003x - 720.135 = 0.8391x 0.7612x = 720.135
x = 946.0523
From (1), obtain
h = 0.8391*946.0523 = 793.8 ft
Answer: The height of the hill is approximately 794 ft (nearest integer)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2. 9a +4c=43
a+c=7
The total tickets for adults and children = 7 (a+c =7) 7 people in all
price for adult = $9 (9a) Price per child =$4 (4c)
total price =$ 43
9a +7c = 43
The commen denominator for 10 and 2 would be 10. so 3/10 will stay the same ... and now we change the 1/2 to a fraction that has its denominator as 10. so the new fractions would be ... 3/10, and 5/10.
