As Juliet stands 15 feet off the ground on her balcony, she spots Romeo in this distance, standing at the ground level. She uses

her angle-measuring device and finds that his position is 3 degree from the horizontal (that is, the angle of depression is 3 degree.) To the nearest foot, how far away is Romeo from base of her balcony?

Let Romeo's distance from the base be x, then
tan 3° = 15/x
x = 15/tan 3° = 15/0.0524 = 286 feet

Therefore, Romeo is 286 feet from the base of the balcony.

Wendy wants to put a wallpaper border around her bedroom. The room has two walls that each measure 10 feet 5
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

11 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The room has two sides both measuring 10 feet 5 inches. This gives a total of 20 feet 10 inches. It also has the other two sides both measuring 6 feet 1 inch and that too gives a total of 12 feet 2 inches. Adding them all together results in 32 feet 12 inches. Better still, the perimeter of the room is derived as;

Perimeter = 2 (L + W)

Perimeter = 2 (10'5" + 6'1")

Perimeter = 2(16'6")

Perimeter = 32'12"

Having in mind our conversion rate of 12 inches equals 1 foot, the results can be properly expressed as 32 feet plus 1 foot which gives us 33 feet.

If the perimeter of Wendy's room is now given as 33 feet, the conversion rate between feet and yards can now be applied. Having been given that

3 feet = 1 yard

Then 1 yard = 3 feet/3, that is

y = 3/3

Hence,

y = 33/3

y = 11

The results show that Wendy would needs to buy a total of 11 yards of wallpaper border.
