Someone please help me with this question. I've been stuck on it for almost 40 minutes. Here's the question. Lauren was standing

on the lifeguard stand on the beach trying to find her sister. She spotted her at the water's edge at an angle of depression of 12 degrees. If the stand is 5 yards above the sand, how far down the beach is Lauren's sister? Round your answer to the nearest yard.

Answer:

24 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Treat x as the desired quantity.  This x is the side of the triangle adjacent to the lower 12 degree angle.  The side opposite this angle is 5 yds.  Using the definition of the tangent,

tan 12 degrees = opp / adj = 5 yds / x

Then x = (5 yds) / (tan 12 degrees), or x = (5 yds) / 0.213

Then x =  24 yds (to the nearest yd)

Answer:

$ 1249.6

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

cost of saddle = $534.00

riding chaps cost  = $87.02

boots cost = $143.99

hat cost = $55.87

pairs of glove cost = $15.94

sales tax paid = 7.5%

Sam's lesson cost =  $35.00 per  lesson

number of lesson = 10

Total purchase cost

= $534.00 + $87.02 + $143.99 + $55.87 + $15.94

= $ 836.82

cost included sales tax

= 1.075 x $ 836.82

= $ 899.58

Cost of lesson = 10 x $35.00 = $350.0

Total cost of the Sam

= $ 899.58 + $350.0

= $ 1249.58

= $ 1249.6
