In angles 31' means 31 minutes. And one degree is equal to 60 minutes, then 31' is 31/60 ° = 0.51667 °

That measure is too small if you use it you will obtain this result:

x = 500 ft * tan (31/60°) = 4.51 ft which is too little.

I will answer the problem using 31° instead of 31'.

This is answer and full explanation:

Answer: 300 ft.

Explanation:

You can form a right triangle with these features:

1) Base = adjacent-leg = 500 feet

2) angle between the hypotenuse and the base = 31°

3) Height = opposite-leg = height of the Statue of LIberty = x

Now, use the equation for the trigonometric ratio tangent:

tan(angle) = opposite-leg / adjacent-leg

=> tan (31°) = x / 500ft

=> x = 500ft * tan(31°)

x = 300.43 ft which rounded to the nearest foot is 300 ft.

If Jay had 5 cards and Jill had 10 cards. What is the product?
cupoosta [38]
Hello there,

The word "product" mean's to multiply.

So we are going to do 5 x 10.

This will give us 50 because when we do
10+10+10+10+10 is give's us 50. That is 
what multiplication mean's.

Hope this helps

Your correct answer will be 50 card's
