Answer:

John ski down the mountain is 1285.37 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : John is skiing on a mountain with an altitude of 1200 feet. The angle of depression is 21.

To find : About how far does  John ski down the mountain ?

Solution :

We draw a rough image of the question for easier understanding.

Refer the attached figure below.

According to question,

Let AB be the height of mountain i.e. AB=1200 feet

The angle of depression is 21 i.e. \theta=21^\circ

We have to find how far does  John ski down the mountain i.e. AC = ?

Using trigonometric,

\cos\theta = \frac{AB}{AC}

\cos(21)= \frac{1200}{AC}

AC=\frac{1200}{\cos(21)}

AC=1285.37

Therefore, John ski down the mountain is 1285.37 feet.

Answer:

  $8.65×10^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount the West raised is the difference between the total and the sum of the other amounts raised. It is convenient to use a multiplier of 10^4 for each of the numbers, so the number for South can be rewritten as 0.675×10^4.

  West = 5.38×10^4 -1.46×10^4 -2.38×10^4 -0.675×10^4

  = (5.38 -1.46 -2.38 -0.675)×10^4

  = 0.865×10^4 = 8.65×10^3

West raised $8.65×10^3.

Your calculator can figure this for you. You can set the final display to scientific notation format, if you need to.
