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)
To find the volume of each prism, you will multiply the length by the width by the height.
V = lwh
3 3/4 x 3 x 3 1/4
V = 36 9/16 cubic feet
V = lwh
1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4
V= 1/64 cubic feet
Both boxes are similar in that they can be described as a rectangular prism.
They are different because one prism has congruent edges, so we call it a cube. The other one has varying side lengths, therefore it is only a rectangular prism.
Question:
Yan is climbing down a ladder. Each time he descends 4 rungs on the ladder, he stopped to see how much farther he has to go. If Yan made eight stops with no extra steps, which expression best shows another way to write the product of the number of ladder rungs that Yan and climbed?
4+4+4+4
8+8+8+8
(-1)(4+4+4+4)
(-8) + (-8) + (-8) + (-8)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
<em></em><em> --- It is negative because he is climbing down</em>
Required
An expression for the number of rungs climbed
To do this, we simply multiply the number of rungs by the steps taken.
This can be rewritten as:
The product, when written as sum is:
28.35x 0.0625 = 1.772 (tax)
28.35 *0.2 = 5.67 (tip) 28.35+1.772+5.67 = ....
