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

How much sugar syrup would you get by making 30% sugar syrup using 75g sugar?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

250gr

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of sugar syrup that I would get by making 30% sugar syrup using 75g sugar is going to be given by the weight of the sugar added to the weight of water. Therefore, we have the following equation:

\frac{75}{75+x} = 0.30

Now, we need to find x:

75 + x = 250

x = 250 - 75

x = 175

The amount of sugar syrp is 175gr + 75 grm = 250gr.
