Answer:

The height is 12.9m

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the distance from the corner of the flag to the opposite corner, for this we will use Pythagoras

In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides

h² = s1² + s2²

h² = 10² + 20²

h² = 100 + 400

h² = 500

h = √500

h = 22.36

Now that we know this measurement we can calculate the height of the flagpole

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse

α = 30

a: adjacent  = 22.36

o: opposite  = ?

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

is the tangent

tan α = o/a

tan 30 = o/22.36

tan30 * 22.36 = o

12.9 = o

The height is 12.9m

What is a real life example of trigonometric ratios
Brut [27]

Answer:

Trigonometry can be used to measure the height of a building or mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

if you know the distance from where you observe the building and the angle of elevation you can easily find the height of the building. Similarly, if you have the value of one side and the angle of depression from the top of the building you can find and another side in the triangle, all you need to know is one side and angle of the triangle.

A restaurant sells burritos for $8.00 each. The cost of the meat is $1.50 and the cost of the other ingredients is $1.00 for eac
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Profit for 100 burritos: $550

Cost to make one burrito: $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If a restaurant sells burritos for $8, that's a positive 8 dollars they earned. Then, we need to find what the cost was to make the burrito. If the meat is 1.50 and the cost for all the other ingredients is 1 dollar, then they lose 2.50 for every 8 dollars they make (for each burrito). So, to find the profit in one burrito, we would add -2.5+8, giving us an answer of 5.5. So, they earn 5 dollars and 50 cents each burrito and lose $2.50.

Now, we need to find the profit of 100 burritos

If one burrito is $5.50 in profit, then we take that amount and multiply it by 100. This is to make the illitsratution of selling 100 burritos. So, 5.50*100 would be 550! They would make $550 for 100 burritos, and lose 250 dollars on all of the burrito ingredients.
