Answer:

B. 60.26°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Consider the diagram representing the above scenario.

The top of the house where dad is standing is at A. The point where his son is standing is B. The bottom of the house is at C. AC is the height of house, BC is the distance between the house and son.

Height of the house (AC) = 21 ft

Distance between the house and son (BC) = 12 ft

Let the angle of depression for the dad be 'x'.

From the figure, it is clear that,

Angle of depression of the dad will be same as angle of elevation of Artie.

For triangle ABC,

\tan x=\frac{AC}{BC}\\\\\tan x=\frac{21\ ft}{12\ ft}\\\\\tan x=1.75\\\\x=\tan^{-1}(1.75)\\\\x=60.26

Therefore, the angle of depression  from the top of the house to the spot where Artie is standing is 60.26°.

Therefore, the correct option is option (B).

Kristin wants to buy a pair of jeans that cost $35 and are on sale
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$51.10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find 20% of $35, then add the sale price of the jeans and the two t-shirts. Take the total and find the sales tax and add that onto the cost.

100 - 20 = 80 If you multiply the jeans by 80% it gives you the price for the jeans saving you from having to subtract the discount from the original price.

35 * 0.80 =  $28.00 jeans                     28.00                             47.98

                                                                  9.99                             <u>+ 3.12</u>

                                                           <u>  +   9.99</u>                            $51.10

                                                                47.98

                                                           <u>X   0.065</u>

                                                                 $3.12

Water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3. What is the mass of 10.0 cm3 of water?
fgiga [73]
1.0g/cm3 means that the mass of one cm3 is 1.0g
The easiest method to use is the rule of three, and let x be the mass of 10.0 cm3 of water
1g -- > 1.0 cm3
x --> 10.0 cm3

x= (10*1)/1
x=10.0 g

So the mass of 10.0 cm3 of water is 10.0g

Hope this Helps! :)
