Answer:

Option C. 56 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram attached, in ΔABC

By Pythagoras Theorem,

AB² = AC² + BC²

      = 16² + 30²

      = 256 +900

AB² = 1156

AB  =  34

Now sinA = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{30}{34}

             A = sin⁻¹  (\frac{30}{34}) = 61.93°

From ΔABD

∠A + ∠B + ∠D = 180°

61.93° + 90° + ∠D = 180°

∠D = 180 - 151.93° = 28.07°

Now tan 28.07° =\frac{BC}{CD} = \frac{30}{CD}

0.53328=\frac{30}{CD}

CD = \frac{30}{0.53328} = 56.25 cm ≈ 56 cm

Option C. 56 cm is the answer.

Haruka hiked several kilometers in the morning. She hiked only 666 kilometers in the afternoon, which was 25\%25%25, percent les
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

She hiked 1,554 kilometers in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the hiking kilometers for morning be x

Given that:

Hiking kilometers in afternoon = 666

According to given condition that afternoon kilometers are 25% less than morning:

x = 666 + 25% of x

By simplifying:

x = 666 + 0.25x

x - 0.25x = 666

0.75x = 666

Dividing both sides by 0.75 we get:

x = 666/0.75

x = 888 kilometers

She hiked 888 kilometers in morning

And

Total = 888 + 666 =1554 km

i hope it will help you!

A building casts a shadow that is 50 feet in length. If the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building is 25
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this question.

We have that:

The shadow of 50 feet is one side of the right triangle, while the height h is other side.

The hypotenuse is the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building, which is 250 feet.

So

50^2 + h^2 = 250^2

h^2 = \sqrt{250^2 - 50^2}

h = 244.95

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.
