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)

Can someone help me this is VERY important
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

48%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent would be 48. 48%. you multiply the denominator by 4 to get 100/48. Then you covert 48/100 to get 47% because in order to multiply 100 by 4 you must multiply the numerator as well.

Find the surface area of the net below.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

472 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

This net is made up of 3 identical rectangles and 2 identical triangles.

Area of a rectangle = width x length

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

<u>Rectangle</u>

  • width = 8 in
  • length = 19 in

<u>Triangle</u>

  • base = 8 in
  • height = 2 in

<u>Surface Area</u>

SA = 3(8 x 19) + 2(0.5 x 8 x 2)

⇒ SA = 456 + 16

⇒ SA = 472 in²

A triangle with a rectangular peice taken out. figure out the area of the triangle which is 62 plus 63 which is 125. that is the height. multiply that by 63 plus 31 which is 94 and 125 times 94 is 11750 then divide it by 2 because it is a triangle which is 5875 thenfrom that take out the area of the rectangle which is 31x62 which is 1922. so the area equals 3953 which is a
