Answer:

B) 43 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AB represents the height of pole and C represents the point on the ground ( shown in the below diagram ),

We need to find : Measure of AB.

Since, angle of depression from the top of a flag pole to a point on the ground is 30°,

By the alternative interior angle theorem,

m∠ACB = 30°,

∵ m∠ABC = 90°,

By the trigonometric ratio,

\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{BC}

We have BC = 75 ft,

\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{75}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{AB}{75}

\implies AB = \frac{75}{\sqrt{3}}= 43.3012\approx 43

Hence, the pole would be 43 ft tall ( approx )

Answer:

Height of flag pole to the nearest foot is 43 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram we have flag pole AB and C is the point on the ground.

It is given that angle of depression is 30°

and the distance of the point C from the base B is 75 feet

so we have

BC= 75 feet  

∠C = 30°

AB= h feet

now in right ΔABC

tan C = \frac{opposite \ side }{base} \\tan C=\frac{AB}{BC}

now we plug AB= h , ∠C= 30° and BC =75

tan 30= \frac{h}{75}

75 tan30 = h            ( multiply both sides by 75)

h= 75 tan 30 =75 (0.5773)\\ h= 43.3 feet\\

Height of flag pole to the nearest foot is

h= 43 feet

Ronnie, Mack, Kim, and Ada together stacked a total of 40 pizzas in a pan. Ronnie stacked 0.25 of the pizzas, Mack stacked 9 of
natta225 [31]
Hello!

Here's how much each person stacked:

Ronnie -- 0.25 of the 40 pizzas.

Mack -- 9/40

Kim -- 35% of the 40 pizzas.

Ada -- rest of the pizzas.

Now, the questions asks for who stacked the most pizzas.

First, find our how many pizzas they stacked out of 40.

40 × 0.25 = 10

40 × 35% = 14

10 + 9 + 14 = 33

40 - 33 = 7

This means that Ronnie stacked 10 pizzas, Mack stacked 9 pizzas, Kim stacked 14 pizzas, and Ada stacked 7 pizzas.

ANSWER:

Kim stacked the most pizzas since she stacked 14 of them.
