Answer:

The final price is $16.00 or choice B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we have to do is find 20% of 20. To do this we cross multiply :

(20 / 100 ) * (20 / 1)

Then we simplify

(20 / 5) * (1 / 1)

( 4 ) * ( 1 ) =

So we get four. Now remember this is not our final answer. We have to subtract it from the total which is 20. We subtract it because since the price is discounted, it will go down. Also because we just found 20% OF 20 , not 20 minus 20% of twenty.

20 - 4 = 16.

Hope this helped.

The petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are 452 meters tall. A woman who is 1.75 meters tall stands 120 meters from the b

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$75.1^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have:

H = 452 m is the height of the Petronas tower

h = 1.75 m is the height of the woman

d = 120 m is the distance between the woman and the base of the tower

First of all, we notice that we want to find the angle of elevation between the woman's hat the top of the tower; this means that we have consider the difference between the height of the tower and the height of the woman, so

$H' = H-h = 452-1.75=450.25 m$

Now we notice that $d$ and $H'$ are the two sides of a right triangle, in which the angle of elevation is $\theta$ . Therefore, we can write the following relationship:

$tan \theta = \frac{H'}{d}$

since

H' represents the side of the triangle opposite to $\theta$

d represents the side of the triangle adjacent to $\theta$

Solving the equation for $\theta$ , we find the angle of elevation:

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{H'}{d})=tan^{-1}(\frac{450.25}{120})=75.1^{\circ}$
