<em><u>Question:</u></em>

Set up a right triangle model for this problem and solve by using a calculator. Follow the models above,

A photographer stands 60 yards from the base of a lighthouse and observes that the angle between the  ground and the top of the lighthouse is 41° How tall is the lighthouse?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

The height of lighthouse is 52.2 yards

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that photographer stands 60 yards from the base of a lighthouse and observes that the angle between the  ground and the top of the lighthouse is 41 degree

The diagram is attached below

Consider a right angled triangle ABC

AB is the height of the lighthouse

BC is the distance between the base of a lighthouse and Photographer

As per given, BC = 60 yards

Angle between the  ground and the top of the lighthouse is 41 degree

Angle ACB = 41 degree

To find: height of lighthouse i.e AB = ?

We know that,

tan(\angle ACB) = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

Here Base is BC and perpendicular is AB

\tan 41^{\circ}=\frac{A B}{B C}

Substituting the values,

\begin{aligned}&\tan 41^{\circ}=\frac{A B}{60}\\\\&0.8692=\frac{A B}{60}\\\\&A B=0.8692 \times 60=52.157 \approx 52.2\end{aligned}

Thus the height of lighthouse is 52.2 yards

mestny [16]

Given:

The function f(x) describes the amount of money, in dollars, the club will earn for wrapping x presents.

f(x)=3x

To find:

The f(658).

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=3x

Substitute x=658 to find the value of f(658).

f(658)=3(658)

f(658)=1974

It means, the club will earn $1974 for wrapping 658 presents.

Therefore, f(658)=1974.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The answer is 60.11

Step-by-step explanation:

An adult person receives 425 pieces of mail each year with a standard deviation of 50.

Now, we have the following details  :

Mean of sample = 425

sigma = 50

Standard error = \frac{425}{\sqrt{50} }

= \frac{425}{7.07} = 60.11
