Answer:

The height of the monument is 555ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to think of the problem as a right triangle, where the distance from the point to the base of the monument and the height of the monument are the legs

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse   in a right triangle

α = 11.87°

a: adjacent  = 2,640ft

o: opposite  = ?

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α = a/h

tan α = o/a

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

is the tangent

tan α = o/a

tan 11.87 = o/2,640

tan 11.87 * 2,640 = o

554.89ft

if we want to round to the nearest foot

o = 554.89ft = 555ft

The height of the monument is 555ft

Last question of my homework pls <3​
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

J(2, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the section formula

x_{J} = \frac{1(-2)+2(4)}{2+1} = \frac{-2+8}{3} = \frac{6}{3} = 2

y_{J} = \frac{1(1)+2(7)}{2+1} = \frac{1+14}{3} = \frac{15}{3} = 5

Thus J = (2, 5 )

you have a bag full of 17 marbles. Of those marbles, 3 are black. What is the probability that a marble chosen is not black
sdas [7]
Total number of marbles = 17

3 are black.

Not black = 17 - 3 = 14.

Probability of not black =          Number not black / Total

                                       =     14 / 17

What's 99.1 ×0.16 (must show work)
wariber [46]
99.1
x0.16

6(1)=6
6(9)=54. Put down the 4 and carry the 5.
6(9)=54+5= 59.

You work in reverse, so our last number should be first and our first number last. So the first number is: 5946

Our next row, we put down a 0 and then continue.
1(1)=1
1(9)=9
1(1)=9

Our second number is 9910.

Add the two: 5946+9910=15856

Count the number lf decimal places. In this case, three. Move the decimal 3 places left: 15.856

I always double check using a calculator.

**Sorry the methods it's written out in isn't better, but I can't upload pictures. Hope it helps.
