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

Hitman42 [59]

plane 1 travels 395 miles in 1 hour

plane 2 travels 422 miles in 1 hour

together, they travel (395+422) 817 miles in 1 hour

to have 2451 miles between then, they'd need to travel

\frac{2451 miles}{817 miles}=3

so in 3 hours, they'll be 2451 miles apart

EXPERTS ONLY its not 0 or 128 In how many ways can you put seven marbles in different colors into four jars? Note that the jars
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:  16384

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Total jars = 4

Total marbles = 7

Since we need to put marbles in 4 different jars, we need to choose a jar each time.

Possible choices for jars =4

Number of time we need to choose = number of marbles

So, by fundamental counting principle, we have

Total ways to put 7 marbles in 4 jars = 4\times4\times 4\times 4\times4\times 4\times 4

=4^7\\\\=16384

Hence, the required number of ways =16384
