on the ground below at the base of the sand pile. the rocks are on opposite sides of the sand pile, and he and the two rocks are in the same vertical plane. if the angles of depression from the top of the sand pile to each of the rocks are 28 ∘ 28∘ and 19 ∘ 19∘, how far apart are the rocks rounded to the nearest foot?

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The distance between the two rocks is (a + b).
By definition,
tan(28°) = 11/a
a = 11/tan(28°) = 20.688 ft
Similarly,
b = 11/tan(19°) = 31.9463 ft

The distance between the rocks is
20.688 + 31.9463 = 52.6343 ft

Answer: 53 ft (nearest foot)

Set 4x equal to x+30 and solve.
prisoha [69]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Subtract x from both sides.

4x − x = 30

2) Simplify 4−x to 3x

3x = 30

3) Divide both sides by 3

x = \frac{30}{3}

4) Simplify \frac{30}{3} to 10

x = 10

3. ms. Johnson placed two different orders with TR's special item store. each order was for 40 jars with the circus logo imprint
rodikova [14]
1.The height is 6 inches ad the width (diameter) is 3 inches!
2. So the jars are Volume ≈  42.41 inches so each boy needs 200 / 42.41 which equals approximately 4.72 inches per jar. So if wach boys have half the amount of jars which is 20 you multiply 20 by 4.72 which is 94.4 inches for each boy!
