Answer:

71.10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you have to remember the laws of the triangles and the law of sines, this states that every triangle´s sum of the inner angles are 180º

This means that if angle A is 65º and angle B is 80º angle C which would be the angle created on the top oof the mountain byt the lines that conect the top of the mountain with person A and B would be 35º.

Now the law of sines goes like this:

\frac{A}{Sine angle A}=\frac{B}{Sine angle B}=\frac{C}{Sine angle C}

If you put the values of the different angles you´d get:

\frac{x}{sine 65}=\frac{45}{sine 35}

When you clear the equation it will end up like this:

x= \frac{(sine 65)(45)}{sine 35}

x= 71.1

See the picture to better understand the problem

we know that
in the triangle ABC
∠A+∠B+∠C=180°
find ∠C
∠C=180-[80+65]------> ∠C=35°

Applying the law of sines

AB/sin C=CB/sin A
solve for CB
CB=AB*sin A/sin C-----> CB=45*sin 65/sin 35-----> CB=71.10 ft

the answer is
<span>the distance from person B to the top of the hill is 71.10 feet</span>

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

(2,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

you see (-4,0), then you do the opposite of what it says like it says right 1 unit. then you g left 1 unit. then it says left 3 units. so you go right 3, which results you starting at (2.-4)

The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200 less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3year
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200 less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3years and 4months at 18% per annum.Find the sum​

The formula for Simple Interest = PRT

From above question, we have to find the Principal

The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200

Hence,

R = 8%

T = 5 years

Rs 200 = P × 8% × 5

P = 200/8% × 5

P = Rs500

The principal = Rs 500

The simple interest on the same sum for 3years and 4months at 18% per annum.

Simple Interest = PRT

R = 18%

T = 3 years and 4 months

Converted to years

T = 3 + (4 months/12 months)

T = 3.33 years

Hence,

Simple Interest = Rs 500 × 18% × 3.33 years

= Rs 299.7

cestrela7 [59]
Let's attribute a to equal probability of 2 and b to equal probability of 3
A=54/360 B=62/360
"or" means you combine the probabilities which means that AvB =116/360
now simply divide 116 by 360 and you get your answer which is 0.32
