Sean read 15 of a book in 112 hours.

makvit [3.9K]

Sean read 15 of a book in = 112 hours,
so, 1 of a book in = 112/15

Now, 12 of a book would be: 112/15 * 12 = 112/5 * 4 = 89.6

89.6 = 89 6/10 = 89 3/5

In short, Your Answer would be 89 3/5 hours

Hope this helps!

Jack looks at a clock tower from a distance and determines that the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 40°. John, who

Answer:

18.7939 m

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let x be the distance between John and clock tower.

-Let y be the vertical distance from the eyes of the two men standing to the top of the clock tower.

#Taking the right triangle ACD:

$\Tan \ theta=\frac{Perpendicular \ Height}{Base}\\\\Tan \ 60\textdegree=\frac{y+1.5}{x}\\\\y=x \ Tan \ 60\textdegree -1.5$

#Taking the right triangle ABD:

$\Tan \ theta=\frac{Perpendicular \ Height}{Base}\\\\Tan \ 40\textdegree=\frac{y+1.5}{x+20}\\\\y=(x+20)\ Tan \ 40\textdegree -1.5$

#We equate the two yo solve for x and y;

$(x+20)\ Tan \ 40\textdegree -1.5=x\ Tan \ 60\textdegree -1.5\\\\(x+20)\ Tan \ 40\textdegree=x\ Tan \ 60\textdegree\\\\0.8391x+16.7820=1.7321x\\\\x=18.7939$

Hence, John's distance from the tower's base is 18.7939 m

What is the simplified expression for,

Nostrana [21]

Here are a few rules you need to know for this equation:

Multiplying exponents of the same base: $x^m\times x^n=x^{m+n}$
Dividing exponents of the same base: $\frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m-n}$
Turning a negative exponent to a positive one: $x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m};\frac{1}{x^{-m}}=x^m$
