Check the picture below

now, <span>26°35' is just 26bdegrees and 35 minutes

your calculator most likely will have a button [ </span><span>° ' " ]  to enter degrees and minutes and seconds

there are 60 minutes in 1 degree and 60 seconds in 1 minute

so.. you could also just convert the 35' to 35/60 degrees

so </span>\bf 26^o35'\implies 26+\frac{35}{60}\implies \cfrac{1595}{60}\iff \cfrac{319}{12}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;tan(26^o35')\iff tan\left[ \left( \cfrac{391}{12} \right)^o \right]

now, the angle is in degrees, thus, make sure your calculator is in Degree mode

Answer:

x=42.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that From a boat on the lake, the angle of elevation to the top of a cliff is 26°35'. If the base of the cliff is 85 feet from the boat, thus using trigonometry, we have

\frac{AB}{AC}=tan26^{\circ}35'

Substituting the given values, we get

\frac{x}{85}=tan26.6^{\circ}

⇒x=85(tan26.6^{\circ})

⇒x=85(0.500)

⇒x=42.5 feet

Therefore, the height of the cliff is 42.5 feet.

681/4 i dont know this
ankoles [38]

Answer:

170.25

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a bit tricky to do not on plain paper, but here:

Just assume the long division symbol looks right

  _1_7_0_.25

4 ) 681

    -4

     2 8

     -2 8

          0  1

The remainder is "1", so you'll just have to write that as either a fraction or decimal, whatever is assigned.

Fraction: 170 1/4

Decimal: 170.25
