Answer:

77 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle. The distance from the viewpoint to the base of the tower is 110 m, the leg of the triangle adjacent to the angle. The height of the spire is the leg of the triangle opposite the given angle. The relevant trig relation is ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Using the given numbers, we find ...

tan(35°) = height/(110 m)

height = (110 m)tan(35°) = (110 m)×0.700208 ≈ 77.0 m

The height of the tower is about 77 meters.

Mrs. Eraca gives this cute dog 4.5 treats that cost $3.59 per treat. How much total money does she spend on this mooching pooch?

Answer:

$16.16

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the amount of treats by the cost of each treat.

4.5 × 3.59 = 16.155.

rounded up gives you $16.16

1 = 3.59

2= 7.18

3= 10.77

4= 14.36

half or .5 of 3.59 is 1.795

Toby exercises 14 hours a week. John exercises 20% more than Toby and Jenny exercises two more hours than John. Which expression

Sedaia [141]

Answer: C. 18.8w

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Toby exercise 14hours a week, and John exercises 20% more than Toby

John increment in number of hours compared to Tobi will be;

20/100 ×14 = 2.8hrs

This shows John exercises 2.8hrs more than Tobi. Total number of hours exercised by John will become;

14+2.8 = 16.8hrs

Since Jenny exercises two more hours than John, Total number of hours exercised by Jenny will be;

16.8hrs+2hrs

= 18.8hrs/week

If Jenny exercise 18.8hrs in a week, it means she will exercise 18.8×w/1 in w weeks which gives 18.8w weeks.
