It is adding one little percentage of increase here. or, 1.1 each time....hope that this helps.
For this case, what we must do is solve the following system of equations:
tan (50) = h / x
tan (40) = h / (x + 50)
Solving the system we have:
(x + 50) * tan (40) = h
(x) * tan (50) = h
Matching:
(x + 50) * tan (40) = (x) * tan (50)
Rewriting:
x (tan (50) - tan (40)) = 50 * tan (40)
x = 50 * tan (40) / (tan (50) - tan (40))
x = 118.9692621
Substituting:
h = (x) * tan (50)
h = (118.9692621) * tan (50)
h = 141.7820455
Answer:
The height of the building is:
h = 141.7820455 ft
Since the company spends 20$ on each doll and sells each for 30$ thats a 10$ profit.
If the company spends 400$ on promotion it would take 40 dolls since
400$ / 10$(amount of profit per doll) = 40
so to make the promotion back it would be 40 dolls but the question was to make PROFIT so it must be 41 dolls
