The horizontal distance is given by the formula:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
where:
θ=21
opposite=2000 ft
adjacent=a
thus calculating for a we get:
tan 21=2000/a
thus
a=2000/tan 21
a=5210.18 ft

Answer: 5210.18 ft

Material for a dress costs £5.50 per metre. find the cost of 10cm and 70cm

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The cost of 10 cm and 70 cm are £0.55 and £3.85 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Material for a dress costs £5.50 per meter.

We know that, 1 meter = 100 cm.

Suppose, the cost of 10 cm material is $x$ and the cost of 70 cm material is $y$

Now, according to the ratio of "cost" to the "length of material" , we will get.......

$\frac{x}{10} =\frac{5.50}{100}\\ \\ 100x=10*5.50=55\\ \\ x=\frac{55}{100}=0.55$

and

$\frac{y}{70} =\frac{5.50}{100}\\ \\ 100y=70*5.50=385\\ \\ x=\frac{385}{100}=3.85$

So, the cost of 10 cm material is £0.55 and the cost of 70 cm material is £3.85
