Answer:

The distance from both of them = 1463.925 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The building is 964 ft tall . 2 people are standing on the ground directly west of the building. The first person looks up at an angle of 62° to the top of the building while the second person did same at an angle of 26°. The distance between them can be computed below.

The illustration forms a right angle triangle . Using the SOHCAHTOA principle let us find the distance of the second person from the building

tan 26° = opposite/adjacent

tan 26° = 964/adjacent

adjacent tan 26° = 964

adjacent = 964/tan 26°

adjacent = 964/0.48773258856

adjacent = 1976.49290328 ft

The distance from the second person to the building = 1976.493 ft

Distance of the first person to the building

tan 62° = opposite/adjacent

tan 62° = 964/adjacent

adjacent tan 62° = 964

adjacent = 964/tan 62°

adjacent = 964/1.88072646535

adjacent = 512.567892122

distance from the first person to the building = 512.568 ft

The distance from both of them = 1976.493 ft - 512.568 ft = 1463.925 ft

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Ok so for this problem you you divide 2/3 n by 2/3 and 7/8 by 2/3
you get $n= \frac{7}{8} / \frac{2}{3}$
to divide fraction you flip the divider over to find the reciprocal
2/3 > 3/2 also you change the division symbol to the multiplication symbol
the equation now is $n= \frac{7}{8} * \frac{3}{2}$
now you multiply to get 21/16
the answer is 1 5/16 after you simplify it

Describe how to use area models to find the quotient 2/3 divided by 1/5.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Therefore, we get 10/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the assignment we have the following numbers 2/3 and 1/5.

We ask for their quotient, we will do it as follows:

\frac{2/3}{1/5}=\frac{2·5}{3·1}=\frac{10}{3}=10/3

We did this as follows:

In the large fraction we have the numbers 2 and 5 which from the outside, we multiplied and wrote in the counter.

While numbers 1 and 3 were multiplied and written in the denominator.

Therefore, we get 10/3.
