Answer:

75.1^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have:

H = 452 m is the height of the Petronas tower

h = 1.75 m is the height of the woman

d = 120 m is the distance between the woman and the base of the tower

First of all, we notice that we want to find the angle of elevation between the woman's hat the top of the tower; this means that we have consider the difference between the height of the tower and the height of the woman, so

H' = H-h = 452-1.75=450.25 m

Now we notice that d and H' are the two sides of a right triangle, in which the angle of elevation is \theta. Therefore, we can write the following relationship:

tan \theta = \frac{H'}{d}

since

H' represents the side of the triangle opposite to \theta

d represents the side of the triangle adjacent to \theta

Solving the equation for \theta, we find the angle of elevation:

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{H'}{d})=tan^{-1}(\frac{450.25}{120})=75.1^{\circ}

Answer:

Option C, 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Substitute y in the equation 3x - 5y = 22</u>

3x - 5y = 22

3x - 5(-5x + 32) = 22

3x + 25x - 160 + 160 = 22 + 160

28x / 28 = 182 / 28

x = 6.5

Answer:

43.82 mph

266.67 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

S = √30fl

S = speed of car

f = drag Coefficient

l = Length of skid mark

If f = 0.8 ; l = 80 feets

s = √30fl

s = √(30*0.8*80)

s = √1920

s = 43.817

s = 43.82 mph

B.)

s = 80 mph

f = 0.8

s = √30fl

80 = √30*0.8*l

80 = √24l

Square both sides

80² = 24l

6400 = 24l

l = 6400/24

l = 266.67 feets
