To solve this, let us first imagine a smaller triangle
created by the head of Jim (A), the top of the lamp post (B), and somewhere on
the body of the lamp post which is directly perpendicular to the head of Jim
(C).
CB = 16 – 6 = 10 ft
AC = 4 ft
Calculate for angle B using tan function:
tan B = AC / CB
B = tan^-1 (4 / 10)
B = 21.8°
Now imagine a bigger triangle created by the tip of
shadow (D), the top of the lamp post (B), and the base of the lamp post (E).
BE = 16 ft
B = 21.8°
We can calculate for DE using tan function:
tan B = DE / BE
(16 ft) tan 21.8 = DE
DE = 6.4 ft
Since Jim is 4ft away from the base of the lamp post,
therefore the length of the shadow is:
6.4 ft – 4 ft
= 2.4 ft
Therefore the length of Jim’s shadow is 2.4 ft long
The Answer: D.Ray
Explanation:
Answer:
About $19.06
Step-by-step explanation:
25% of 23.98 is 5.995
23.98-5.995=17.985
6% of 17.985 is 1.0791
17.985+1.0791 is 19.0641,
which is $19.06

Answer:
5.75 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
let the number of days be x and the number and the number of miles be y
so that the cost of the rental will be
c= 38.38x+ 0.14y---------1
we are told that the amount at hand is $270
hence
270=38.38x+ 0.14*(350)
solve for x
270= 38.38x+49
270-49= 38.38x
221= 38.38x
divide both sides by 38.38
x= 221/38.38
x= 5.75 days
Hence the number of days is 5.75 days
The answer is a. $20.40
explaining: if you add 287 and 121, you’ll get 408. You can’t multiply percents so you have to change it into a decimal.
287+121=408
408x0.05= 20.40
