Answer:
84.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
It is often helpful to draw a diagram for word problems involving geometric relationships. One for this problem is shown below.
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between sides of a right triangle:
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
Here we're given angles of depression measured from the horizontal (as shown in the diagram), but it is more convenient to use angles measured from the vertical. In particular, ∠BAO is the complement of 60°, and its tangent is the ratio OB/OA:
tan(30°) = OB/OA
OB = (200 m)·tan(30°) ≈ 115.47 m . . . . . . multiply by OA, use OA=200 m
Likewise, we have ...
OC = (200 m)·tan(45°) = 200 m
Then the width of the river is the difference between these values:
BC = OC -OB = 200 m - 115.47 m = 84.53 m
Answer:
$27.2
Step-by-step explanation:
A cake that costs $32 is on sale for 15% off and there are no taxes. Explain why the expression (0.85).32 represents the final price of the cake in dollars.
This is explained in the calculation below
= A cake that costs $32 is on sale for 15% off
The amount off the cake is calculated as
= 15% of $32
= 15/100 × 32
= $4.8
The amount he is paying for the cake =>$32 - $4.8
= $27.2
The above expression is obtained as
(0.85).32
= (100% - 15%) × 32
=( 1 - 0.15) × 32
= 0.85 × 32
= $27.2
The final price of the cake = $27.2
Answer:
A. c = 0.31b
Step-by-step explanation:
$7.44 = 24 juice bottles
[Divide by 24 on both sides]
$0.31 = 1 juice bottle
The cost is equal to the amount per juice bottle times the number of juice bottles, so:
c = 0.31b
(A trick to use when you don't know the answer: If there are multiple answers with the same numbers but the decimal places are in different places, it is probably one of those answers.)

Identifying true statements is a reasonable strategy for many multiple-choice questions. Another strategy that can be employed is finding the one true statement that is <em>relevant to the question being asked</em>.
