Answer:

11.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure .

Height of building i.e. AB = 160 feet.

A helicopter takes off from the ground 800 feet from the base of a building i.e. BC = 800 ft.

We are required to find what angle did the helicopter take off from i.e. ∠ACB

We will use trigonometric ratio .

tan\theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

tan\theta = \frac{AB}{BC}

tan\theta = \frac{160}{800}

tan\theta = \frac{1}{5}

tan\theta = 0.2

\theta =tan^{-1} 0.2

\theta =11.3^{\circ}

Thus the  angle at which  the helicopter take off from is 11.3°

Multiply: 4 5/7 x 6 3/7​
leonid [27]

Make the fractions into improper fractions

4 5/7= 33/7 - Multiply the denominator with the whole number. 4*7=28, add 28 with the numerator. 28+5=33 .

6 3/7=45/7 - Multiply the denominator with the whole number. 6*7=42 , add 42 with the numerator. 42+3=45

33/7*45/7

Multiply the numerators together. Multiply the denominators together.

33*45=1485 ( numerators) , 7*7=49 ( denominators)

=1485/49 or in mixed number: 30 15/49

Answer: 1485/49 , 30 15/49

What THREE integers have a sum of 300?
quester [9]

Answer:

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 300. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 300. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 300

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 300

3X + 3 = 300

3X + 3 - 3 = 300 - 3

3X = 297

3X/3 = 297/3

X = 99

Which means that the first number is 99, the second number is 99 + 1 and the third number is 99 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 300 are 99, 100, and 101.

99 + 100 + 101 = 300

We know our answer is correct because 99 + 100 + 101 equals 300 as displayed above.
