The problem says that <span>Brandon sights a helicopter above a building that is 200 feet away at an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. So, you can calculate the height asked, by following this procedure:
</span>
 Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg

 α=30°
 Opposite leg=x
 Adjacent leg=200 feet

 When you substitute these values into the formula above (Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg), you have:

 Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
 Tan(30°)=x/200
 
 You must clear "x":

 x=200xTan(30°)

 Therefore, the value of "x" is:

 x=115 feet
<span>
 How high above the ground the is the helicopter?

 The answer is: 115 feet</span>

Find a number less than 19 that has more factors than 19,21,23and 25
katen-ka-za [31]
A <em>factor</em> is a number that your number is divisible by.

19 has two factors: 19 and 1.
23 also has two factors: 23 and 1.

21 has four factors: It is divisible by 21 and 1, but also by 3 and 7.
25 has three factors: It is divisible by 25, 1, and 5.

We need a number less than 19 that has five or more factors.
What we can do is multiply a bunch of numbers together (so that we know that our number will be divisible by them) to give it a lot of factors.

Let's try 2 × 2 × 3. This gives us 12.

12 has <em>six</em> factors: 12, 1, 2, 6, 3, and 4.
