The angle of elevation from a buoy in the water to the top of a lighthouse is 68degrees. If a buoy is 300 ft from the base of th

e lighthouse, from the height of the lighthouse.

Katen [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The height of the lighthouse is 742.5\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h -----> the height of the lighthouse

we know that

The tangent of angle of 68 degrees is equal to divide the height of the lighthouse by the horizontal distance from the buoy to the base of lighthouse

so

tan(68\°)=\frac{h}{300}

Solve for h

h=(300)tan(68\°)=742.5\ ft

What is –36° converted to radians?
Stells [14]

let's recall that there are 180° in π radians, thus


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} degrees&radians\\ \cline{1-2} 180&\pi \\ -36&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{180}{-36}=\cfrac{\pi }{x}\implies -5=\cfrac{\pi }{x}\implies x=\cfrac{\pi }{-5}\implies x=-\cfrac{\pi }{5}

Julio wants to find the volume of a small pebble. He drops it into a graduated cylinder filled with 30.0 mL of water.
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

By calculating water displacement

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Julio knows the volume of water in the graduated cylinder, by dropping the pebble in, he can record the new volume of both the water and pebble. Subtracting the volume of the water from the volume of both will leave him with the volume of the pebble. This technique is water displacement.

Add the two expressions.<br><br> −2.4n−3 and −7.8n+2
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

-10.2n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two expressions in variable n and we have to add the two expressions.

An important thing to note is that only like terms can be added. i.e. the term with "n" can only be added or subtracted to the term with "n". Similarly a constant can only be added or subtracted to a constant.

(-2.4n-3)+(-7.8n+2)\\=-2.4n-3-7.8n+2\\=-2.4n-7.8n-3+2\\=-10.2n-1

Thus, the two given expressions add up to -10.2n - 1

Im really struggling with these questions can anyone help me?
Alchen [17]
Q1
the clothes are on 45% discount, wich mean they become 55% of their original price.

30× 55% =16.5
64×55%=35.2

the new salary is 103% of the original

10×103% = 10.3
11600×103% = 11,948

Q2:

1+0.24= 1.24
1- 0.27= 0.73

86×140%= 120.4
440×119%= 523.6
82×90% = 73.8
480× 73%= 350.4
