Answer:

Height\ of\ monument=555.5\ ft

Explanation:

In\ the\ digram\ AC\ is\ the\ monument\ and\ DE\ is\ the\ student.\\\\AC=AB+BC\\\\Let\ AB=x\\\\BC=Height\ of\ the\ eye\ of\ the\ student=DE=5\ ft\\\\\Rightarrow AC=x+5.................................eq(1)\\\\Student\ is\ standing\ at\ a\ distance\ of\ 25\ ft.\\\\CD=25\ ft\\\\BE=CD=25\ ft\\\\Angle\ of\ elevation=87.4\textdegree\\\\\angle AEB=87.4\textdegree\\\\Now\ in\ \triangle ABE\\\\\tan \angle AEB=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}=\frac{AB}{BE}\\\\\tan 87.4=\frac{x}{25}\\\\x=25\times \tan 87.4\\

x=25\times 22.02171001\\\\x=550.54275\ ft\approx 550.5\ ft\\\\Height\ of\ monument=AC=x+5\\\\Height\ of\ monument=550.5+5\\\\Height\ of\ monument=555.5\ ft

Which countries in the Middle East export petroleum?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The countries in the Middle East that export petroleum are Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and I think there are a few more but those are the main ones. Lots of Middle Eastern countries export it but these are the main ones. Places like Saudi Arabia and Iran have lots of oil fields available, so they would naturally export lots of petroleum.

Have a wonderful day! :D

How does the geographic distributions of monsoonal climate explain why koppens monsoonal climates typically have higher precipit
Soloha48 [4]

The monsoonal climates are located just north of the Equator, but their formation is above the sea surfaces, not in the mainland, and their influence is mainly on peninsular regions.

Because the formation of the monsoons is above the warm sea waters, there's a very high amount of water vapor in the air, so when those air masses are reaching the land, enormous amounts of rainfall occurs.

Most of the places that have the biggest amounts of precipitation in the world, are places where the monsoons are the most dominant.
