Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

Using SOH CAH TOA

Tan angle = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan 5 = \frac{x}{4629}

x = 4629*Tan5

x = 4629*0.087488

x = 404.98

To the nearest meters, the height is 405 meters.   :  Answer

Hope it will help :)

Hello everybody. Can somebody please help me on this math question
Nutka1998 [239]

Answers:

<em>See below.</em>

Step-by-step explanations:

(A) This equation evaluates the cost to ship 100 lbs of wheat, which equals $130:

C(100) = 1.28(100) + 2

C(100) = 128 + 2

C(100) = 130

(B) The cost to ship 250 lbs of wheat would be $322:

C(250) = 1.28(250) + 2

C(250) = 320 + 2

C(250) = 322

(C) If you had $50, you could ship 37.5 lb of wheat:

C(x) = 50

C(x) = 48 + 2

C(x) = 1.28(37.5) + 2
