Jack looks at a clock tower from a distance and determines that the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 40°. John, who

is standing 20 meters from Jack as shown in the diagram, determines that the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is 60°. If Jack’s and John’s eyes are 1.5 meters from the ground and the distance from Jack's eyes to the top of the tower is 50.64 feet, how far is John from the base of the tower? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. 24.5 meters 16.1 meters 22.2 meters 18.8 meters

Use the triangle with angle of elevation 40°

cos(40°) = adjacent leg / hypotenuse = (20 + x) / 50.64

=> 20 + x = 50.64 * cos (40°)

x = 50.64 cos(40°) - 20 = 38.79 m - 20m = 18.79 m ≈ 18.8 m

Answer: 18.8 m

Given h(t)=-2(t+5)^2+4, find h(-8)<br><br> -334<br> -14<br> -45<br> -445
stepladder [879]

Substitute -8 for t in the expression, and now you have: h(-8) = -2[(-8) + 5]^2 + 4. Solve inside the parentheses; add -8 and 5.

h(-8) = -2[-3]^2 + 4, solve exponents next by squaring -3.

h(-8) = -2[9] + 4, multiply -2 and 9.

h(-8) = [-18] + 4, add -18 and 4.

h(-8) = -14.

Problem 10 / (Second Session 2006)
hammer [34]

Answer:

Find other solutions in explanation

x = 250

y = 1750

Step-by-step explanation:

x = cost per copybook

y = cost per pen

2. Sum of the cost of 4 copy books and 3 pen is equal to 7750

3.)

2x+y=2750 - - (1)

4x + 3y = 7750 - - - (2)

From (1)

y = 2750 - 2x

Substitute y = 2750 - 2x into (2)

4x + 3(2750 - 2x) = 7750

4x + 8250 - 6x = 7750

-2x = - 500

x = 500/2

x = 250

y = 2750 - 2(500)

y = 2750 - 1000

y = 1750
