I'm looking at the top at 79.9 angle. I'm 100ft away. What's the height of the building?

To solve this, notice that you have the angle component (I will call this a) and the x-component (the distance of you from the building) of a trig formula, and you are looking for the y-component. We will use the tangent formula, since this incorporates the angle, x, and y components.

1. Write the formula

tan(a) = y ÷ x

2. Rewrite to include the known values.

tan(79.9) = y ÷ 100

3. Solve for the unknown variable, y.

tan(79.9) × 100 = y ÷ 100 × 100

tan(79.9) × 100 = y

4. A fancy step that I call the "flip flop."

y = tan(79.9) × 100

5. Use a calculator to find the value (make sure the calculator is in "degree" and not "radians" mode).

y = 561.3968

6. Round the number as is appropriate for this problem.

Have a great day!

So this is a trig problem

so you have a right triangle
base=100 ft
from wher you are standing, it is a 79.9 angle to the top
we want to find the height of the tower or the opposite side
the base is  the adjacent side so you are looking for o/a or tan(79.9) since you know one of the sides so therefor
tan(79.9)=h/100
evaluate tan(79.9)
tan(79.9)=5.61396
5.61396=h/100
multiply both sides by 100
561.396=h
round to tenths place
561.4
the height=561.4 ft

3/5 converted to percentage gives 60%

How do we convert a fraction to a percentage?

First and foremost, the maximum percentage value any number could have is 100% , hence, in order to convert a number or fraction or even  a decimal to percentage, we simply multiply it by 100

3/5 to percent:

In order to convert 3/5 to percentage, we would multiply by 100

3/5=3/5*100

3/5 in percent=300/5

3/5 in percent=60

3/5 in percent =60%

As a result, the correct option is 60%,which is the third option, option C

Estimate by rounding each addend to the greatest place: 50,099+ 24,565=74,664 .

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but i think it wants:

50,000 + 25,000 = 75,000 - so B is the answer

to do it you basically just round the number to the nearest 1000 and add
