You have to move the decimal place for how many space the exponent say
You divide the pay by the number of hours. So, Earl gets the higher rate of pay per hour. ( Melanie= 16.25 ph. Earl= 148 ph)
Answer:
let the third side be x
Using pythagoras theorem we get,
(58)^2 = (42)^2 + (x)^2
3364=1764+x^2
x^2=3364-1764
x^2= 1600
x=√(1,600)
x=40
Melissa is standing 40 ft from a tree, so m = 40 is base of the triangle.
angle of elevation (aoe) = 50°
The tree's height (h) is the side opposite the aoe (50°), therefore in trigonometry tangent 50 = opposite / adjacent. The side adjacent to that angle (50°) is the base (m). Therefore:
tan50 = h/m
And now h = m (tan50)
h = 40 (1.19) = 47.7 ft
