Jill is standing at the base of her apartment building. She measures the angle of elevation to the top of a nearby tower to be 4

0º. Then Jill goes to the roof of her apartment building, directly above her previous position, and measures the angle of elevation to the top of the same tower to be 30°. If the height of the tower is 100 meters, the height of Jill's apartment building is meters. NextReset

<span>The distance to the base of the tower is 
tan 40=100/x

x=100/tan 40=119.18 m
from the top of the building, we know the adjacent side but not the opposite
tan 30=opposite/119.18
opposite is 119.18*tan30=68.81 m
The opposite side is the height of the tower ABOVE the apartment building. The tower itself is 100 m high, and the remainder of the height, 31.19 m, is the height of the building.</span>

Answer:

The height of Jill's apartment building is 31.2 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the figure 1:

The height of the tower is 100 meters.

tan(\theta) = \frac{opp}{adj}

She measures the angle of elevation to the top of a nearby tower to be 40º

Therefore, (\theta)=40^{\circ}

\tan(40^{\circ})=\frac{100}{x}

x=\frac{100}{tan(40^{\circ})}

x=\frac{100}{0.839}

x =119.18 m

Therefore, the length of BC is 119.18 m.

Now, find the length of AE.

tan(30^{\circ})=\frac{y}{119.18}

y=(0.577)(119.18)

y=68.8

Hence, the length of AE is 68.8 m.

Therefore, the height of Jill's apartment building can be calculated as:

100 m-68.8 m = 31.2 m

Hence, the height of Jill's apartment building is 31.2 m.

Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

2 - (3 • x) 2 - 3x

Step 6 :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1 Pull out like factors :

Step 7 :

When a fraction equals zero :

7.1 When a fraction equals zero ...
Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

6•(2x+1)
———————— • x = 0 • x
x
Now, on the left hand side, the x cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
6 • (2x+1) = 0

Equations which are never true :

7.2 Solve : 6 = 0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

A college student Earned $6500 during summer vacation working as a waiter. The student invested Part of the money at 10% and the
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The amount invested at 10% rate is $ 2200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total amount earn by student = $6500

The total interest received at the end of year = $607

Let the amount invested at 10% rate = $x

So, The amount invested at 9% rate = ($6500 - $x)

Let the time for which money invested = 1 year

<u>Now from Simple Interest method :</u>

SI = \frac{principal\times Rate\times Time}{100}

Or, SI_1 + SI_2 = \frac{x\times 10\times 1}{100} + \frac{(6500-x)l\times 9\times 1}{100}

Or, SI_1 + SI_2 = (\frac{10x}{100})+\frac{(6500-x)\times 9}{100}

Or, $607 × 100 = 10x + (6500-x) × 9

Or, $60700 = 10x- 9x + 58500

Or, $60700 - $58500 = x

Or , 2200 = x

∴ x = 2200

So, The amount invested at 10% rate = $x = $ 2200

Hence The amount invested at 10% rate is $ 2200   Answer
