Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.
Let h the height of the hill. =
At position A, the angle of elevation is 40°, and the horizontal distance to the foot of the hill is x.
By definition,
tan(40°) = h/x h = x tan40 = 0.8391x
(1)
At position B, Joe is (x - 450) ft from the foot of the hill. His angle of elevation is
40 + 18 = 58°.
By definition, tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)
h = (x - 450) tan(58°) = 1.6003(x-450)
h = 1.6003x - 720.135 (2)
Equate (1) and (2).
1.6003x - 720.135 = 0.8391x 0.7612x = 720.135
x = 946.0523
From (1), obtain
h = 0.8391*946.0523 = 793.8 ft
Answer: The height of the hill is approximately 794 ft (nearest integer)
Answer:
you might have to use an app that scans that specific problem :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-1/2 = x+7
4x-x = 7+0.5
3x = 7.5
x = 2.5
Answer:
the answer would be 16.50
8/3 = 2 2/3 and -11/3 = -3 2/3
so the middle line is 0 and each big line is 1.
Put the first dot on 2 2/3 or right before the 3rd big line.
Put the second dot on -3 2/3 or the line right after the 4th big line going back from 0
