Let h and d represent the height of the object above the lake and its horizontal distance from the observer, respectively.

Looking at the reflection of the object in the lake's surface is equivalent to observing the object at distance h below the lake's surface, or observing it from 200 m below the lake's surface. Considering the latter case, we have
  (h+200)/d = tan(45°)
  (h -200)/d = tan(30°)
Solving these for d and equating the results gives
  (h+200)/tan(45°) = (h -200)/tan(30°)
Solving for h, we get
  h(1/tan(30°) -1/tan(45°)) = 200(1/tan(45°) +1/tan(30°))
  h = 200(tan(45°) +tan(30°))/(tan(45°) -tan(30°))
  h ≈ 746.41

The object is about 746.4 meters above the lake.

Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. 3x2 + 5x + 1 = 0
iren [92.7K]
Solve for x over the real numbers:
3 x^2 + 5 x + 1 = 0
Hint: | Using the quadratic formula, solve for x.
x = (-5 ± sqrt(5^2 - 4×3))/(2×3) = (-5 ± sqrt(25 - 12))/6 = (-5 ± sqrt(13))/6:
Answer: x = (-5 + sqrt(13))/6 or x = (-5 - sqrt(13))/6

A statement can help you organize the numbers to answer a question about percents
Semenov [28]

Answer:

<u> $50</u> is <u>27.02%</u> of <u>$185</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Money spent on clothing = $50

Money spent on Groceries = $100

Money spent on Gas = $35

Total money spent = $185

Our question is to find the percentage of total money that is spent on clothing.

Percentage money on clothing = \frac{Money spent on clothing}{Total money} × 100

                                                   = \frac{50}{185} × 100

                                                   = 27.02% (approx)

Hence,<u> $50</u> is <u>27.02%</u> of <u>$185</u>.
