Answer:

The answer is 0.2mile

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical height of the building, which is 630ft, is opposite the angle of elevation (30°).

While the horizontal distance to the tower is adjacent to the building. So, we take the tangent of the angle of elevation in terms of this unknown distance (x) and the vertical height.

So,

Tangent = opposite ÷ adjacent

Tan30° = 630ft ÷ x

x = 630ft ÷ tan30°

x = 1091.192ft

But,

1 mile = 5,280ft

1091.192ft = (1/5280) x 1091.192

= 0.2mile

A circular ice rink is being built in town. Around the ice rink, a walkway will be built. The ice rink will have a diameter of 8
Archy [21]
 so the ice rink diameter is 80 feet what mean that the radius of ice rink is 40 feet the walkway is 10 feet wide so 10+40=50 what mean that the radius and the walkway wide make 50 feet length together 
using this length area = pi*r^2 = 3,14*(50)^2 = 7850 feet squared
area of ice rink = 3,14*40^2 = 5024 feet squared 

area of the walkway = 7850-5024 = 2826 feet squared

Please help me with this I’m confused please explain
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

25. If you look at angle B from the first figure you see a square that indicates a 90 degrees angle, thus the figure shown is a right triangle. You can also see that angle C is said to have 60 degrees. a right triangle has a total angle of 180 degrees. so, 180 - 90 - 60 = 30 degrees. Therefore, angle A is 30 degrees.

27. Now you want the measure of the hypotenuse, and you know this a right triangle. so, simply use the law of sines to find the measure of AC :

4cm/sin(60) = AC/Sin90

AC = 4.62 cm

29. angle z is in the other figure and same stuff, just substract the angles, you have 90 degrees and 30 degrees... 180 - 90 - 30 = 60 degrees

31. Angle Y = 90 degrees

this value is already given, it's the little square that indicates a 90 degrees angle.

26. 5 cm

28. 90 degrees

30. You already found AC, use the pythagorean theorem. sqrt((4.62)^2 - 4^2) = 2.31 cm

32. use pythagoras again, square root(5^2 - 3^2) = 4

So as you can see all the measurements are the same because if you see at the very top of your figures it says ABC = XYZ which means pretty much that they have the same values (notice that there is a little something added to the = sign, watch out for that because that's what indicates that two figures are equal in terms of angles and measures.

A coffee shop gives the customer a free cup of coffee after the purchase of 5 cups: a.) industrial marketing program b.) loyalty
AveGali [126]
I think it’s a loyalty marking program. I think it’s that because I feel like it’s the only answer that really makes sense bc the customer is being loyal to the service in order to receive their “reward”
