The angle of elevation from the hiker to the park ranger is the same as the angle of depression from the ranger to the hiker, 29°.
The tangent function of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side (500') to the adjacent side (x) in the right triangle shown. That is
tan(29°) = 500' / x
Multiplying the equation by x/tan(29°) gives
x = 500' / tan(29°)
x ≈ 500' / 0.5543
x ≈ 902 ft
Answer:
the answer for x is 25

Step-by-step explanation:
The number of Apples that were in the given fruit salad is approximately; 2170 Apples.
<h3>How to work with ratio questions?</h3>
We are given the ratio of apples to oranges as;
A:O = 31:11
Now, we are told that there are 2940 apples and oranges in total.
Thus, the fractions of apples and oranges of the total will be;
Apple fraction = 31/(31 + 11) = 31/42
Orange Fraction = 11/42
Thus;
Number of Apples = (31/42) * 2940
Number of Apples = 2170 Apples

#SPJ1
If she has half a pound of sunflower seeds and wants to split it into eight equal packets, each packet would be 1/16 of a pound. 1/16 of a pound is 1 ounce.
Therefore, each packet of seeds would weigh 1 ounce (1 oz.)
X^2 - 2x - 15 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0
We have two factors:
(x - 5) and (x + 3)
Set each factor to 0 and solve for x.
Take it ftom here.
