107.75m
This is a trigonometric ratio problem. the angle of depression (10) is opposite the height (19m) and the distance is adjacent to the distance (x). opposite ad adjacent sides to the angle is a tangent problem.
tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}
plus in values, we know.
tan (10) = \frac{19}{x}
switch tan(10) and x using the products property.
x = \frac{19}{tan (10)}
plug in to calulator to get answer
x=107.75

I HAVE 1 MORE DAY TO TURN THIS IN SO HURRY
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Hello there! I am EnjoyingLife, and I hope you find my answer helpful.

First of all, since all books cost less than $5, the most expensive a book could be is $4.99 (remember, less than, not less than or equal to)

Now, let's write an inequality to represent the cost of books.

We know that all books cost less than $5.

We have a sign for "less than". It's "<"

Thus,

p<5

Hope it helps!

Have an awesome day!

Good luck!

A rectangular, above ground swimming pool is 18 feet long, 9 feet wide, and 54 inches deep. One cubic foot of water weighs about
dybincka [34]
What is the total weight of the water in the pool when it is completely filled?

V = L * W * D
V = 18 * 9 * 54/12
V = 18 * 9 * 4.5
V =729  cubic feet

729 cubic feet of water times 62.4 pounds = 45489.6 pounds
