Why does dividing 5 by a decimal less than 1 give a quotient greater than 5

Mathematics

andrew-mc [135]3 years ago
5 0
If you divide by a decimal, you are breaking apart 1 into multiple pieces and so you are trying to find how many of that size piece will fit into 5. For example if you divide by .5 (point five), there are 2 point fives in 1 so there are 10 point fives in 5. The quotient is larger.

I hope you got that...

Zaheer, a boy of height 1.5m was watching the entire programme. Initially he observed the top of theflagpoleat an angle of eleva
torisob [31]

Answer:

h = 15.163\ meters

Step-by-step explanation:

(Assuming the correct angles are 30° and 45°)

We can use the tangent relation of the angle of elevation to find two equations, then we can use these equations to find the height of the pole.

Let's call the initial distance of the boy to the pole 'x'.

Then, with an angle of elevation of 30°, the opposite side to this angle is the height of the pole (let's call this 'h') minus the height of the boy, and the adjacent side to the angle is the distance x:

tan(30) = (h - 1.5) / x

Then, with an angle of elevation of 45°, the opposite side to this angle is still the height of the pole minus the height of the boy, and the adjacent side to the angle is the distance x minus 10:

tan(45) = (h - 1.5) / (x - 10)

So rewriting both equations using the tangents values, we have that:

0.5774 = (h - 1.5) / x

1 = (h - 1.5) / (x - 10) \rightarrow (h - 1.5) = (x - 10)

From the first equation, we have that:

x = (h - 1.5) / 0.5774

Using this value of x in the second equation, we have that:

h - 1.5 =  \frac{ (h - 1.5) }{0.5774} - 10

h + 8.5 =  \frac{ (h - 1.5) }{0.5774}

0.5774h + 4.9079 = h - 1.5

0.4226h = 6.4079

h = 15.163\ meters
