The people of Bridgetown wanted to build a bridge across a nearby river. Since they were poor swimmers, their master Trigonomos

agreed to measure the width of the river without actually crossing it. Trigonomos spotted a tree across the river and marked the spot directly across from it. Then he walked to another point 15 meters down the river and found that the angle between his side of the river and the line connecting him to the tree was 76?, degree . What is the width of the river?

Answer:

60.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

The width of the river is the side of a right triangle opposite the angle of 76°. The 15 m distance is the length of the side adjacent to the measured angle. So, we have ...

tan(76°) = width/(15 m)

Multiplying by 15 m, we get ...

width = (15 m)tan(76°) ≈ 60.2 m

The width of the river is about 60.2 m.

spayn [35]
The discount is $1.19 unless you have to round up than it is $1.20. in order to solve this problem you would set up a proportion. So your proportion would be x over 7.99 = 15 over 100. Than you would cross multiply. 7.99*15=119.85. and 100*x=100x. than u divided both sides by a 100. than x= 1.19. which 1.19 is the discount.

Alexa worked 30 hours last week and earned $450. Her pay has now been increased by 20%. Which equation describes her new rate of
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

p=18h

or

p=\dfrac{450}{30}\cdot 1.2\cdot h

Step-by-step explanation:

If Alexa worked 30 hours last week and earned $450, then her hourly payment is

\dfrac{\$450}{30}=\$15.

Her payment has now been increased by 20%, so her hourly payment becomes

\$15\cdot 1.2=\$18.

If she worked h hours, then she earned \$18h. If her new payment is p, then

p=18h

or

p=\dfrac{450}{30}\cdot 1.2\cdot h.
