Vic is standing on the ground at a point directly south of the base of the CN Tower and can see the top when looking at an angle

of elevation of 61°. Dan is standing on the ground at a point directly west of the base of the tower and must look up at an angle of elevation of 72° in order to see the top. If the CN Tower is 553.3 m tall,how far apart are Vic and Dan to the nearest meter? Include a well-labeled diagram as part of your solution.

The angle of elevation of 61° and 72° with the height of the tower being 553.3 m. gives Vic's distance from Dan as approximately 356 meters.

<h3>How can the distance between Vic and Dan be calculated?</h3>

Location of Vic relative to the tower = South

Vic's sight angle of elevation to the top of the tower = 61°

Dan's location with respect to the tower = West

Dan's angle of elevation in order to see the top of the tower = 72°

Height of the tower = 553.3m

tan( \theta) =  \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan( 61 ^{ \circ}) =  \frac{553.3}{ Vic' s\: distance \: to \: tower}

distance  =  \frac{553.3}{tan ( {61}^{ \circ} )}  = 306.7

  • Vic's distance from the tower ≈ 306.7 m

Similarly, we have;

Dan's distance  =  \frac{553.3}{tan ( {72}^{ \circ} )}  = 179.8

  • Dan's distance from the tower ≈ 179.8 m

Given that Vic and Dan are at right angles relative to the tower (Vic is on the south of the tower while Dan is at the west), by Pythagorean theorem, the distance between Vic and Dan <em>d </em>is found as follows;

  • d = √(306.7² + 179.8²) ≈ 356

Therefore;

  • Vic is approximately 356 meters from Dan

Point K on the number line shows Kelvin's score after the first round of a quiz: In round 2, he lost 9 points. Which expression
weqwewe [10]

Complete question :

Point K on the number line shows Kelvin's score after the first round of a quiz: A number line is shown from negative 10 to 0 to positive 10. There are increments of 1 on either side of the number line. The even numbers are labeled on either side of the number line. Point K is shown on 3. In round 2, he lost 9 points. Which expression shows how many total points he has at the end of round 2? 3 + (−6) = −9, because −9 is 6 units to the left of 3 3 + 6 = −9, because −9 is 6 units to the left of 3 3 + (−9) = −6, because −6 is 9 units to the left of 3 3 + 9 = −6, because −6 is 9 units to the left of 3

Answer: 3 + (−9) = −6, because −6 is 9 units to the left of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Width of number line = - 10 to + 10

Point K on the number line = +3 ( kelvin's score after the first round of quiz).

If Kelvin losses 9 points in round 2  = - 9

Hence at the end of round 2, He'll have a total of :

Point at the end of round 1 + point lost in round 2

3 + (-9) = - 6

Type the correct answer in the box. Log14/13+log11/5-log22/15= log
MArishka [77]

your answer would be x=21/13

When the logs have the same base: logb(f(x)) = logb(g(x)) --> f(x) g(x)

if im correct please mark brainliest :)

1250 randomly chosen individuals from a certain population are tested for the presence of the HIV virus, and 20 are found to be
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

0.016

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability we have to Divide the number of events by the total number of possible outcomes. This will result in the probability of the single event.

Therefore, the formula of probability is

P(v) = \frac{no of events}{total possible outcomes}\\

In the given case,

P(v) = \frac{20}{1250}\\ P(v) = 0.016

Which is our required answer.
