Answer:

h = 109.9 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The above question can be solved using trigonometric ratio formula,

tan θ = opposite/adjacent

tan θ = tan 70° ≈ 2.7475

opposite = height of lamppost = h in

Adjacent = 40 in

Thus,

$tan 70 = \frac{h}{40}$

$2.7475 = \frac{h}{40}$

Multiply both sides by 40 to solve for h

$40*2.7475 = h$

h = 109.9 inches

The height of the lamppost = h = 109.9 inches (to nearest tenth)

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

2⅝

Step-by-step explanation:

You must convert each fraction to a common denominator.

The least common multiple of 2, 4, and 8 is 8.

1/4 +3/8 + 1/2 + 5/8 + 7/8 Convert to a common denominator

= 2/8 + 3/8 + 4/8 + 5/8 + 7/8

= (2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 7)/8

= 21/8 Convert to a mixed number

= (16 + 5)/8

= 2 + ⅝

= 2⅝
