Answer: 57 ft

Step-by-step explanation: Because drawing it up, we can make a right angled triangle with the right angle between the height of the man in the building and the distance out from the building of the man in the street, and the 35 degrees between the line connecting the man in the street with the man in the building, and the line out from the building of the man in the street. Then, tan of the 35 degree angle is = to opposite (40ft)/adjacent (to solve for). By cross multiplication, the A or adjacent (dist out from the building) = 40/0.7 (0.7 = tan of 35 degrees) so the answer is 57 ft.

Jimmy loaded three bags of sand into his wheelbarrow. The bags weighed 24
Rudik [331]
The whole numbers add up to 100. So now we are left with 1/2 or 0.5, 3/5 or .60, and 1/8 or .125. Those add up to 1.225 so the amount of sand in pounds in the wheelbarrow is 101.225. Hope I helped! If you have any questions just leave a comment.
