If you sketch the man and the building on paper, you'll have a
right triangle. The right angle is the point where the wall of
the building meets the ground. The height of the building
is one leg of the triangle, the line on the ground from the
building to the man's feet is the other leg, and the line
from his feet to the top of the building is the hypotenuse.
We need to find the angle at his feet, between the hypotenuse
and the leg of the triangle.
Well, the side opposite the angle is the height of the building -- 350ft,
and the side adjacent to the angle is the distance from him to the
building -- 1,000 ft.
The tangent of the angle is (opposite) / (adjacent)
= (350 ft) / (1,000 ft) = 0.350 .
To find the angle, use a book, a slide rule, a Curta, or a calculator
to find the angle whose tangent is 0.350 .
tan⁻¹(0.350) = 19.29° . (rounded)

Answer:
1,115 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
The original amount of OJ is what we're trying to find, so that will be our variable, x. Now, keep in mind the order of events to write the correct equation. We started with the x amount of OJ, then 240 mL was taken away, to leave us with 875 mL. So, x - 240 = 875. Then we solve this by adding 240 to both sides to get the x alone. This gives us x=1,115 mL!
