Answer:

Let the distance between woman and pole be "x".

From diagram,

In ΔOAB,

tan 18 = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

tan 18 =  \frac{65 -y}{x}

∴ x =  \frac{65 -y}{tan 18} ................ (1)

In ΔOBC

tan 14 = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

tan 14 =  \frac{y}{x}

y = x × tan 14 ..............(2)

equating (2) in (1), we get;

x = \frac{65}{tan 18 + tan 14}

x = \frac{65}{0.574}

∵ tan 18 + tan 14 = 0.574

<em>∴ x = 113.2 ft</em>

<em>i.e. The her distance from the pole is 113.2 ft.</em>

Jesse has a storage container in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The volume of the container is 43.875 cubic meters, the
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The height is 2.25 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a right rectangular prism is the product of the length, width, and height. So it would be V=w*l*h.

Because you have been given the values of the volume, width, and length, you can plug in those values into the equation to find the height. It should look like this: 43.875=5 * 3.9 * h

Then you can divide both sides of the equation by 5 * 3.9.

So... 43.875/(5*3.9)=h

therefore h= 2.25.

hope this explanation makes sense!
