A zip line is setup 150ft in the air, where a person can expect to zip line at a safe declining speed to the ground as they pass

over a body of water, said to be 40 ft in length. Assuming that this cable were stretched tight, where the zip liner is approaching the ground at a 40∘ angle (not the top angle), how many feet of ground would be covered horizontally by the zip liner, not including the body of water? Round to the nearest foot

Answer:

139 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

So the zip line forms a right triangle.  The height of the triangle is 150 ft, and the opposite angle is 40°.  The horizontal distance covered by the zip liner can be found with trigonometry, specifically with tangent.

tan 40° = 150 / x

x = 150 / tan 40°

x ≈ 179 feet

But this includes the 40 ft long body of water, so the amount of ground covered is:

179 ft - 40 ft = 139 ft

Given: U.S Flag - rectangle in shape

scale of 0.5 cm = 1 in

length of the scale 2.5 cm

width of the scale 4.75 cm

perimeter of the scale = 2(L+W) = 2(2.5+4.75) =

2(7.25) = 14.5cm

perimeter of the actual flag is:

14.5cm * 1in/0.5cm = 29 inches

hope it helps!

Find the value of all angles
o-na [289]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This means that <C and <F are congruent.

So 2x - 15 = x + 15             Add 15 to both sides

2x-15+15=x+15+ 15

2x = x + 30                        Subtract x from both sides

2x-x=x-x+30

x = 30  

I've taken the bottom 2 angles to be equal. The lettering says they

48x0.2= $9.6
$48-9.6=$38.40 Her friend is incorrect. 
40/48 =0.83 or about 83% So, in this case she only got 17% off. :)
