Answer:
The height (in feet) at which the laser will impact the wall is 6.75 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The height from which the laser beam operator is holding the laser = 9 feet
The horizontal distance away from the pointer the beam is reflected = 8 feet
Given that we have;
When x = 8, the point of reflection, the height, f(x) is given as follows;
When x = 7, the point of reflection, the height, f(x) is given as follows;
Therefore, given that the point of reflection is at an elevation of 0 relative to the 9 feet of the laser source (pointer), by tan rule, we have;
Where;
h = The height at which the laser meets the wall
Given that the wall the laser meets is at the point x with elevation 9/8, the height, y, at which the laser meets the wall is therefore;
The height (in feet) at which the laser will impact the wall = 6.75 feet.
1. Find the percent markup.
Markup ($) = percent markup (%) x original cost ($)
A computer store buys a laptop for $635 directly from the manufacturer (Dell). The markup is $570. What is the percent markup on the computer?
The percent markup is: <u> </u><u>90</u><u> </u>%
FORMULA: Percent of Markup = Markup/Cost x 100
- = $570/$635 x 100
- = 0.90 x 100
- = 90%
