To find the height of a pole, a surveyor uses a theodolite. The theodolite is 4 ft tall. The surveyor stands 140 feet away from

the base of the pole. Then she measures the angle of elevation to the top of the pole to be 44°. What is the height of the pole? Round the answer to the nearest foot.

Tan 44° = x/140

 x = 140 tan 44°

x approx = 140 * 0.9657 = 135.198

Remember, we need to add another 4 feet, so the answer would be 139.198 feet

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

The height of pole will be in two parts, upper part is x and second will be the height of theodolite which is already given as 4 feet.

Using SOH CAH TOA in triangle ABC

tan 44=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan44=\frac{x}{140}

x=140tan44=135.20

So the total length of pole is = 135.2+4=139.2

Rounding to the nearest feet, the height of pole is 139 feet.  :  Answer

Hope it will help :)

ikadub [295]
<span>Chris' average speed is 3.5mph: Lets take Chris' brother speed = B then Chris speed = (B+ 1) mph-------given in the question and: The average speed for covering 18 miles= chris' average speed + his brother's average speed = (B+ 1) + B since Speed = Distance covered / time taken then average speed for 18 miles can also be found by: 18 miles/3 hours = 6 miles per hour then we have; (B+ 1) + B = 6mph (B +1) = (6-B) B+B = 6-1=5 2B=5 B=5/2=2.5 mph (this is Chris' brother average speed) Hence Chris' average speed is = B+1= 2.5+1= 3.5mph</span>

Which data set contains an outlier?
Bezzdna [24]

The data set which contains an outlier from the given answer choices is; Choice D; {16, 42, 45, 45, 46, 48}.

<h3>What is an outlier?</h3>

An outlier in a set of data values is a data value which differs significantly from other data points and hence, tends to affect the mean of such set of data values significantly.

On this note, choice D is the set of data values which contains an outlier.

Find m a 24.7<br> b 79.2<br> c 68.3<br> d 57.4<br> e 46.5<br> f 80.1<br> g 35.6
kogti [31]

Answer:

68.3 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan I = opp side / adj side

tan I = sqrt(82) / sqrt(13)

tan I = sqrt(82/13)

Taking the inverse tan of each side

tan ^-1 ( tan I) = tan ^-1( sqrt(82/13))

I = 68.2892

Rounding to the nearest tenth

I = 68.3 degrees
