This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance of Lily from the tower will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=1450 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=15.7
thus;
1450/x=tan15.7
hence;
x=1450/tan15.7
x=5,158.54 ft
x=5,159 (to the nearest foot)

Answer:

  • $3.50
  • 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows you the value stored on the card dropped by $14 when Gina rented 4 videos. Thus the cost of each one is ...

... $14/4 = $3.50

Gina now has $84 on the card, so can rent an additional ...

... $84/$3.50 = 24 . . . . videos

_____

Division is a way to do "repeated subtraction." That is, if we were to subtract $3.50 from $84 repeatedly, we would find we could do it 24 times.
