<h2>Answer:</h2>

\boxed{\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+65}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<em>The height of the rider from the ground after the Ferris wheel</em> equals <em>the starting point is 15 feet off the ground </em><em>plus </em><em>the radius of the Ferris wheel </em><em>plus </em><em>the opposite side of the triangle ΔABC </em>(See figure below).<em> </em>Hence our goal is to find this side. We have the angle 11\pi /2=165^{\circ}, therefore the angle ∠BAC = 165° - 90° = 75°. So this side can be found using trigonometry:

\overline{BC}=\overline{AB}sin(75^{\circ})=50sin(75^{\circ})=\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})

Finally, the height is:

H=\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+15+50 \\ \\ \boxed{H=\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+65}

The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width if the area is 147 what is the perminer
spayn [35]
Formula for are of a rectangle:
        A =L * W
1st isolate W
   147 = 3W * W
   147 = 3W^2
divide 147 by the by 3 on bot sides
    29 = W^2
get ride of the square by square rooting on both sides
     7 = W

2nd find the perimeter
    P = 2(7) + 2(21)
    P = 14 + 42
    P = 56

A kite is flying 70 feet above the ground and is attached to a string tied to a stake on the ground. The angle of elevation form
rosijanka [135]
Taking the length of the string to be the hypothenuse and the vertical height above the ground to be the 'opposite' side,
the length of the string
= 70/sin(40°)
= 109 feet
