Answer:
Charlie is incoerre
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Line of sight to top of flagpole = 16 feets
Angle of elevation = 60°
The height of the flagpole :
Applying trigonometry to the drawing in the attached picture :
We use:
Sinα = opposite / hypotenus
This enables us to use the value of the hypotenus (line of sight) to obtain the missing height value (h)
Sin(60°) = h / 16
h = 16 * sin 60
h = 16 * 0.8660254
h = 13.856406
Hence flagpole is about 13.86 feets high
Charlie's reasoning is incorrect, the line of sight constitutes the hypotenus and not Adjacent and hence, shoul
Answer:
120 out of 400 does not equal 20%
it equals 30%
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe it's the same as adding 8+3, but you add the negative sign to your answer
so 8+3 = (-?)
You have 2 triangles and 3 rectangles.
Start with a triangle:
area is base side * height / 2 -> 4 * 3 / 2 = 6
The other triangle has the same area: 6
First rectangle: side * other side -> 7 * 5 = 35
Second rectangle: 7 * 4 = 28
Third rectangle: 7 * 3 = 21
Now simply add all this together: 6+6+35+28+21 = 96
