The tangent ratio is
   tan(38°) = opposite/adjacent = (height of cliff)/(distance to base)
Multiplying the equation by the denominator gives
   height of cliff = (80 ft)*tan(38°) ≈ 62.5 ft

Answer:

The value of x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

∠BOC = 3x - 15

∠COD = 2x + 5

Find:

The value of x

Computation:

⇔ ∠BOC + ∠COD = 90

⇔ 3x - 15 + 2x + 5 = 90

⇔ 5x - 10 = 900

⇔ 5x = 90 + 10

⇔ 5x = 100

⇔ x = 100 / 5

⇔ x = 20

The value of x = 20

The number of bags of mulch you need to cover a planting area varies jointly with the area to be mulched (a) in sq ft and the de
Lena [83]

Answer:

  22 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

When z "varies jointly" with x and y, it can be described by the formula

   z = kxy

Here, we have bags of mulch (n) varying jointly with area (a) and depth (d), both in feet. The given information can let us find the value of k.

  n = kad

  10 = k·(120)(1/4)

  10/30 = k = 1/3 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of k

Now, we can fill in the other values of interest.

  n = (1/3)·(200)·(1/3) = 200/9

  n = 22 2/9

You need 22 2/9 bags of mulch to cover 200 ft² to a depth of 4 inches.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

This problem requires the formula be written with both area and depth expressed in feet, yet it gives depth in inches. The formula can also be written using depth in inches. In that case, k = 1/36.

Hence it can be said that,

2x - 2 = x + 9

2x - x = 9 + 2

x = 11
