Please find the attached diagram for a better understanding of the question.
As we can see from the diagram,
RQ = 21 feet = height of the hill
PQ = 57 feet = Distance between you and the base of the hill
SR= h=height of the statue
=Angle subtended by the statue to where you are standing.
= which is unknown.
Let us begin solving now. The first step is to find the angle
which can be found by using the following trigonometric ratio in
:

Which gives
to be:

Now, we know that
and
can be added to give us the complete angle
in the right triangle
.
We can again use the tan trigonometric ratio in
to solve for the height of the statue, h.
This can be done as:





Thus, the height of the statue is approximately, 8.45 feet.
Answer:
x = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First you want to get rid of the fraction, so you can multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
9 = 2x + 8
Then, subtract 8 from both sides to get x by itself.
1 = 2x
Finally, divide both sides by 2 so you only have one x
1/2 = x
This means that the answer is x = 1/2.
1.65 + 0.85x= $20
0.85x=$18.35
x=21 10/17
first you write the equation
then you have to subtract 1.65 from the equation but you also have to subtract it from 20
then you divide 0.85 from 0.85x and from the 18.35 left over from subtracting 1.65 from 20
then you should get x=21 10/17 (simplified) but the decimal form is a ongoing fraction so you can just round it up to the nearest hundredth
This is a question that needs a bit of common sense to get to the actual answer that is desired. Firstly there is one information given .The other information has to be found from common sense. ! single handshake requires 2 people. Now we can easily determine the number of people doing 66 handshakes.
Then
The number of people required for 1 hand shake = 2
Then
The number of people required to do 66 handshakes = ( 2 * 66) people
= 132 people
Then it can be said that there were 132 people in the party. I hope the process of doing this problem is clear to you.
I would think it would be B
