Need help with Trigonometry!

Mathematics
1 answer:
EleoNora [17]3 years ago
5 0

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)

James bought Nicole a pair of shoes for $54.99 and a bracelet for $21.99. He used a 15% off coupon and then paid 7.5% sales tax.
mina [271]

Answer:

$70.34

Step-by-step explanation:

The total before the coupon and tax is:

$54.99 + $21.99 = $76.98

Now apply the 15% coupon:

Since the total price is 100% of the price, when you apply a 15% coupon, you pay 100% - 15% = 85% of the price. We need to find 85% of $76.98

85% * $76.98 =

= 0.85 * $76.98

= $65.43

The price after the 15% coupon, but before the tax, is $65.43

Now the total $65.43 is considered 100% of the price. The tax is 7.5%.

100% + 7.5% = 107.5%

Now we find 107.5% of $65.43

107.5% of $65.43 =

= 1.075 * $65.43

= $70.34

Answer: $70.34

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

20 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using an equation or simple mental math:

The equation: x=children x+20=adults

x + (x+20) = 60

2x + 20 = 60

2x = 40

x = 20

Mental Math: 40 plus 20 is 60 and 40 is 20 more than 20 so there are 40 adults and 20 children.
