Answer:
1st pic) 17.8
2nd pic) 16.8
3rd pic) 9.1
4th pic) 13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1st pic:</u>
(write equation) Cos 27 (cos 27 = 0.89) =
(new equation) 0. 89 =
(multiply 20 on both sides) 0.89 x 20 = x 20
(solve) 17.8 = x
<u>2nd pic:</u>
(write equation) tan 40 (tan 40 = 0.84) =
(new equation) 0.84 =
(multiply 32 on both sides) 0.84 x 20 = x 20
(solve) 16.8 = x
<u>3rd pic:</u>
(write equation) cos 55 (cos 55 = 0.57) =
(new equation) 0.57 =
(multiply 16 on both sides) 0.57 x 16 = x 16
(solve) 9.1 = x
<u>4th pic:</u>
(write eqaution) tan 42 (tan 42 = 0.90) =
(new equation) 0.90 =
(multiply 15 on both sides) 0.90 x 15 = x 15
(solve) 13.5 = x
Answer:
Height of the silo = 18 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached BC is the length of the silo and the height of the farmer is 5 ft.
Farmer is standing at 8 ft distance from the silo.
From triangle AEC,
tan(∠CAE) =
=
m(∠CAE) =
= 32°
m∠BAE = 90° - 32° = 58°
From the triangle ABE,
tan58° =
BE = 8tan58°
BE = 12.8 ft
Total height of the silo = BE + EC
= 12.8 + 5
= 17.8
≈ 18 ft
Therefore, total height of the silo is 18 ft.
