Ryan wanted to know the height of a cell-phone tower neighboring his property he walked 80 feet from the base of the tower and m

easured the angle of elevation to the top of the tower at 54 degrees if Ryan is 5 feet tall what is the height of the cell-phone tower?

Since Ryan is 5 feet tall, we will assume that the height of the cell-phone tower is x + 5.
Since the given is 54 degrees. 
Tan 54degrees = x/80(feet)
x=80(tan54)
x=110
To finalize the answer, we will add up the height of the cell-phone tower to the answer. 
110 + 5 = 115 feet
So the answer to the question is that the height of the cell-phone tower is 115 ft.

Two skiers are 30 kilometers apart and head towards each other. They meet in 2 hours. If the second skier is 5 kilometers per ho
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Speed of first skier = 5 km/h

Speed of second skier = 10 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance between skiers = 30 km

Time after which they meet = 2 hours

Second skier is 5 km/h faster than the first skier.

To find speed of each skier.

Solution:

Let the speed of first skier be in km/h =x

<em>Distance covered in km 2 hours will be = Speed\times time=x\times 2=2x\ km</em>

Speed of second skier in km/h can be given as = x+5

<em>Distance traveled by second skier after 2 hours will be = Speed\times time=(x+5)\times 2=(2x+10)\ km   [Using distribution]</em>

Since, the skiers were 30 km apart initially, so the total distance covered by both of them when they meet after 2 hours will be = 30 km

Thus, we have:

2x+2x+10=30

Solving for x

4x+10=30

Subtracting both sides by 10.

4x+10-10=30-10

4x=20

Dividing both sides by 4.

\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{20}{4}

x=5

Speed of first skier = 5 km/h

Speed of second skier = 5+5 = 10 km/h

The population of a certain country is expected to double every 32 years. The population of this country was 4.2 million people
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

2.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Population in year 2000 (A) = 4.2 million

Expected population every 32 years = 2 *A

The growth rate per year =?

The population figure after 32 years = (2 * 4.2 million) = 8.4 million

Using the exponential growth formula :

P(t) = A × (1 + r)^t

(1 + r) = g = Total growth percent

A = Initial population

t = time

P(t) = 8.4 million

8,400,000 = 4,200,000 × g^32

g^32 = (8400000/4200000)

g^32 = 2

Taking the root of 32 on both sides

g = 1.02189714865

g = (1 + r)

1.02189714865 = 1 + r

r = 1.02189714865 - 1

r = 0.02189714865

.rate = 0.02189714865 * 100

= 2.18971486541%

= 2.2% ( nearest tenth)

Please help me AAAAAA
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

AEF is a similar triangle to ABC. that means it has the same angles, and the sides (and all other lines in the triangle) are scaled from the ABC length to the AEF length by the same factor f.

now, what is f ?

we know this from the relation of AC to FA.

FA = 12 mm

AC = 12 + 28 = 40 mm

so, going from AC to FA we multiply AC by f so that

AC × f = FA

40 × f = 12

f = 12/40 = 3/10

all other sides, heights, ... if ABC translate to their smaller counterparts in AEF by that multiplication with f (= 3/10).

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

aABC = 500

and because of the similarity we don't need to calculate the side and height in absolute numbers. we can use the relative sizes by referring to the original dimensions and the scaling factor f.

baseline small = baseline large × f

height small = height large × f

we know that

baseline large × height large / 2 = 500

baseline large × height large = 1000

aAEF = baseline small × height small / 2 =

= baseline large × f × height large × f / 2 =

= baseline large × height large × f² / 2 =

= 1000 × f² / 2 = 500 × f² = 500 ×(3/10)² =

= 500 × 9/100 = 5 × 9 = 45 mm²
