The square root of 81 is 9
Check out the attached image for the drawing of how this would look. The drawing isn't 100% needed but it helps I think.
Based on the figure shown in the attachment, we have a right triangle with the adjacent leg of 80 (this leg is closest to the bottom 12 degree angle) and an opposite leg of h
In short,
adjacent = 80
opposite = h
We'll use the tangent rule
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(12) = h/80
80*tan(12) = h
h = 80*tan(12)
h = 17.0045249336018 <<-- see note below
So the lighthouse is roughly
17.0045249336018 meters tall
Answer: 17.0045249336018Note: Make sure you are in degree mode. The value is approximate. Round this answer however you need to
Answer:
(b) 2.175 miles to 2.185 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
When a value is rounded, the original "exact" value is presumed to be within 1/2 of the value of one least-significant unit of the rounded number.
<h3>Application</h3>
A rounded value of 2.18 has a least-significant digit with a place value of 0.01 units. Half that value is the "margin of error". That is, the range of numbers that would be rounded to 2.18 is ...
2.18-0.005 ≤ x < 2.18+0.005
2.175 ≤ x < 2.185 . . . . miles
Answer:
71°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of elevation of the hill can be obtiaed using trigonometry :
Given
the opposite length = 14.5 feets
Adjacent = 5 feets
The angle of elevation vabnbe obtained using :
Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent
Where θ = angle of elevation
Tan θ = 14.5 / 5
Tan θ = 2.9
θ = tan^-1(2.9)
θ = 70.97 = 71°
