Answer:

40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The deck is at a height of 520 ft. She sees her friend on the ground below at an angle of depression of 85.6 degrees.

To Find : What is the distance between the two? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Solution :

Refer the attached figure

Height of deck =AB =520 ft.

Angle of depression ∠C = 85.6°

We are supposed to find length of BC i.e. distance between two.

We will use trigonometric ratios :

tan \theta = \frac{perpendicular}{base}

tan 85.6^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{BC}

12.99615= \frac{520}{BC}

BC= \frac{520}{12.99615}

BC= 40

Thus the distance between two is 40 feet

Let the distance between them be d, then
tan 85.6 = 520 / d
d = 520 / tan 85.6 = 520 / 13 = 40.0 ft

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Plug your values into the equation A=1/2bh and do the math. First multiply the base (b) by 1/2, then divide the area (A) by the product. The resulting value will be the height of your triangle! so A=1/2(6)(h). 1/2 times six is 3 so you have A=3h, subtract 3 and your awnser is 3A=h divide by 2 H= 1.5

Complete the sentence to explain how to use mental math to express 12/25 as a percent
Vlada [557]

Answer: It's 48%. See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, percent means out of a hundred. For instance, 10 percent is 10 out of 100.

One way to make \frac{12}{25} a percent is by making the denominator 100. In order to do so, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 4, since 25 times 4 is 100.

\frac{12}{25}  =  \frac{48}{100} = 48 %

This is very simple, and mental math is definitely possible. Hope this help.
