The measure of the angle of depression from the helicopter to the girl’s line of sight is 67 degrees.

<h3>What is a right angle triangle?</h3>

A right angle triangle has one of its angle as 90 degrees. The sides and angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.

Therefore, angle of depression from the helicopter can be found as follows:

tan x = opposite / adjacent

where

x = angle of depression

Hence,

tan x = 660 / 280

tan x = 2.35714285714

x = tan⁻¹ 2.35714285714

x = 67.1231281953

x = 67°

Therefore, the measure of the angle of depression from the helicopter to the girl’s line of sight is 67 degrees.

at a clothing store, levi's jeans are on sale for 40% off. sales tax is 7%. which expression will calculate the total cost of le

aleksandrvk [35]

Given:

Discount = 40%

Sales tax = 7%

To find:

The total cost of levi jeans with an original price of x.

Solution:

Let x be the original price of the jeans. Then the price after 40% discount is

$Price=x-40\%\text{ of }x$

$Price=x-\dfrac{40}{100}x$

$Price=x-0.4x$

$Price=0.6x$

The price after 7% of sales tax.

$Price=0.6x+7\%\text{ of }0.6x$

$Price=0.6x+\dfrac{7}{100}\times 0.6x$

$Price=0.6x+0.042x$

$Price=0.642x$

Therefore, the total cost of the levi jeans with an original price of x is represented by the expression 0.642x.

Given the following scores on a 30-point quiz, which of the following is an accurate frequency table?

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Table B is accurate

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Observations: 21, 22, 20, 29, 25, 21, 21, 27, 26, 25

Required

An accurate frequency table

From both tables in the attachment; both tables use a grouped data to represent the grades.

The grouped data is as follows;

19-21

22-24

25 - 27

28-30

Breaking down these groups into bits:

19-21 :- 19, 20, 21

22-24 :- 22, 23, 24

25 - 27 :- 25, 26, 27

28-30:- 28, 29, 30

Looking up these values in the given data, we have

19-21 :- 21, 20, 21, 21

22-24 :- 22

25 - 27 :- 25, 27, 26, 25

28-30:- 29

Getting their frequencies

19-21 :- 4

22-24 :- 1

25 - 27 :- 4

28-30:- 1

Hence, the second table is accurate
