WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO THE BEST CORRECT ANSWER!!!!!!! The people of Bridgetown wanted to build a bridge across a nearby river.

Since they were poor swimmers, their master Trigonomos agreed to measure the width of the river without actually crossing it. Trigonomos spotted a tree across the river and marked the spot directly across from it. Then he walked to another point 10 meters down the river and found that the angle between his side of the river and the line connecting him to the tree was 40º. What is the width of the river in meters? Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

The width of the river is about 8.39 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

The width of the river is the side of a right triangle opposite the angle of 40°. The 10 m distance is the length of the side adjacent to the measured angle. So, we have ...

tan(40°) = width/(10 m)

Multiplying by 10 m, we get ...

width = (10 m)tan(40°) ≈ 8.39 m

The width of the river is about 8.39 m.

At the beginning of the school year, 70 students signed up for music lessons. Students could choose drums, guitar, piano, or vio
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Answer A:

15 students signed up for violin lessons (4 boys + 11 girls)

15 / 70 = approx. 21% of the class.

Answer A says 28%, so this is incorrect.

2. Answer B:

17 students signed up for drum lessons (11 boys + 6 girls)

17/70 = approx. 24%

B says 17% signed up for drums, so this is incorrect.

3. Answer C.

Wrong because more girls signed up for piano lessons (15 girls, whereas only 9 boys signed up for piano)

4. D. The same percent of boys and girls are taking guitar lessons.

Get the total number of boys and girls in the class (just add the results for each separately for all instruments)

Boys: 11 + 6 + 9 + 4 = 30

Girls: 6+8+15+11 = 40

6 out of 30 boys signed up for guitar

6/30= 20%

8 out of 40 girls signed up for guitar

8/40 = 20%

Answer is D
