The angle of depression is the angle that is created from a horizontal line drawn from the upper angle of the right triangle that is created in this situation. The angle of depression is an angle exterior to the triangle. It is complementary to the interior angle. So if the angle of depression is 30 and lie outside the triangle, the interior angle has to measure 60. The pole creates a 90 angle with the ground, so what we have here is a 30-60-90 triangle. The one base angle is the right angle (the one the pole makes with the ground) and the other base angle measures 30. We are given the length of the base leg as 75 and we are looking for the height of the pole (the other leg). You would use the tangent ratio to solve for the height of the pole.
Tan(30)=x/75, and 75 tan(30)=x. Doing that on your calculator in degree mode gives you a pole height of 43.3 feet, or 43 feet (which is the height to the nearest foot)

Answer:
<em>She invested 1600 at 8% (to get the shown $160 interest)</em>
<em>and $7400 at 10% (to get the shown 640 interest)</em>
<em>If x = 4000 then $80 interest is x2 again = $160</em>
<em>and so forth $320 interest x 2 again = $640</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The format would always be for x and then where </em>
<em>investment - x = interest we can work out totals this way and find x.</em>
<em>9000-x = 800 is first equation and substituted into 2nd equation;</em>
<em>0.10x+0.08(9000−x)=800</em>
<em>Use the distributive property to multiply 0.08 by 9000−x.</em>
<em>0.10x+720−0.08x=800</em>
<em>Combine 0.10x and -0.08x to get 0.02x.</em>
<em>0.02x + 720 = 800</em>
<em>Subtract 720 from both sides.</em>
<em>0.02x=800−720</em>
<em>Subtract 720 from 800 to get 80.</em>
<em>0.02x=80</em>
<em>Divide both sides by 0.02.</em>
<em>x= 80 / 0.02</em>
<em>Make decimals numbers = 1 or above.</em>
<em>80 / 0.02 x 100</em>
<em>x= 8000 / 2</em>
<em>x = 4000</em>
