Let's first find the equation to find what the population went up to. X, will be the population of last year.
1.15x=76,894
Now, we need x by itself, so we need to divide both sides by 1.15.
76,894÷1.15≈66,864
There are decimals, but for this problem, hae .3478 of a person would not fit.
We can check our answer.
66,864×.15=10,029.6
10,029.6+66,864=76,893.6 (rounds up to 76,864)
So the population of the town last year was about 66,864 (66,864.3478) people.
The horizontal distance between the base of the skyscraper to the ship is 1145 feet.
Data;
- Angle = 45 degree
- Observation deck (adjacent) = 1145 ft
- horizontal distance (opposite) = x
<h3>Trigonometric Ratios</h3>
Using trigonometric ratios, we have the value of adjacent and angle, we can easily use tangent of the angle to find the horizontal distance

Substitute the values into the equation and solve

The horizontal distance between the base of the skyscraper to the ship is 1145 feet.
