Draw a triangle with shortest side on the ground (horiz.). The length of this side is 80 feet. Two angles touch the ground: a right angle, and the 70 degree angle.
Then the height of the building is the 2nd shortest side.
The tangent function is the appropriate one to use here:
opp h
tan 70 deg = -------- = ----------
adj 80 ft
h
Since tan 70 deg = 2.75, 2.75 = -------
80 ft
so h = building height = (80 ft)(2.75) = 219.8 ft
Answer:
<em>1,860</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
FIRST:
we divide 124 by 4 because in 4 minutes he can type 124 words, and we need to figure out how many he can type in a minute.
124 divided by 4 is 31. (they can type 31 wpm)
NEXT: now we know they can type 31 wpm, we need to multiply that number by 60 because there are 60 minutes in an hour.
31 x 60 = 1,860
therefore, they can type 1860 words per hour
hope i helped have a great day/night! :'')
