Please find the attached diagram for a better understanding of the question.

As we can see from the diagram,

RQ = 21 feet = height of the hill

PQ = 57 feet = Distance between you and the base of the hill

SR= h=height of the statue

\angle SPR=Angle subtended by the statue to where you are standing.

\angle x=\angle RPQ= which is unknown.

Let us begin solving now. The first step is to find the angle \angle x which can be found by using the following trigonometric ratio in \Delta PQR :

tan(x)=\frac{RQ}{PQ} =\frac{21}{57}

Which gives \angle x to be:

\angle x=tan^{-1}(\frac{21}{57})\approx20.22^{0}

Now, we know that\angle x and \angle SPR can be added to give us the complete angle \angle SPQ in the right triangle \Delta SPQ.

We can again use the tan trigonometric ratio in \Delta SPQ to solve for the height of the statue, h.

This can be done as:

tan(\angle SPQ)=\frac{SQ}{PQ}

tan(7.1^0+20.22^0)=\frac{SR+RQ}{PQ}

tan(27.32^0)=\frac{h+21}{57}

\therefore h+21=57tan(27.32^0)

h\approx8.45 ft

Thus, the height of the statue is approximately, 8.45 feet.

On a particular day, the wind added 4 miles per hour to Alfonso’s rate when he was cycling with the wind and subtracted 4 miles
Greeley [361]

d = r · t ⇒ t = d/r

going

t = 54/(r + 4)

coming

t = 30/(r - 4)

54/(r + 4) = 30/(r - 4) times are equal

54(r - 4) = 30(r + 4) product means/extremes

54r - 216 = 30r + 120 distribute

24r - 216 = 120 subtract 30r from both sides

24r = 336 add 216 to both sides

r = 14 divide both sides by 24

Alfonso bikes at 24 mph.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

1518 divided by 26 is 58 remainder 10.

... 1518 = 26×58 + 10 = 1508 + 10

Mr. Stephens will make 58 trips with a full load. After that, 10 tons of rock will remain.
