We use the trigonometric function for this case. An escalator is an inclined path. We form a right triangle since we have given the value of the height. The height from the first floor to second floor is called the adjacent while the travelled distance of the people is called the hypothenuse. We use cosine function because we are given in terms of adjacent and hypothenuse. The ratio of cosine function is
cos x = a/h
where x is the angle
Solving for h,
h = a/(cos x) = 21/(cos 30) = 24.25 ft
Answer:
1800
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 60 seconds in a minute
so, 30 * 60 = 1800
They have the 2

17
Step-by-step explanation:
6 + 11 = 17
Sum (addition of 2 numbers)
Answer: Ksh 6144
Step-by-step explanation:
On Thursday, a fruit vendor bought 1948 oranges on a Thursday and sold 750. The number of oranges left will be: = 1948 - 750 = 1198
On n Friday, he sold 240 more oranges than on Thursday. This means the number of oranges sold is: = 240 + 750 = 990.
The number for f oranges left will then be: = 1198 - 990 = 208
On Saturday, he bought 560 more
oranges, the total oranges that the vendor has now will be:
= 208 + 560 = 768
Since sold all the oranges he had at a price of Ksh. 8 each, the amount if money made will be:
= Ksh 8 × 768
= Ksh 6144
The vendor made Ksh 6144
