Well, 1/3 is equal to 0.3, and 1/4 is equal to .25, so it can't be a.
3/4 is equal to .75 and 6/9 is equal to 0.6, so it can't be b.
5/8 is equal to 0.625 and 20/32 is also equal to 0.625, so it could be c.
7/9 is equal to 0.7 and 21/28 is equal to 0.75, so it can't be D.
Your best bet is C. Because both sides of C are equal.
C 5/8=20/32
The answer is -4
because when you minus 11 and 20 that will get you -9 and then you add 5 that get you the answer
Answer: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
328 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From a boat ont he lake, the angle of elevation to the top of a cliff is 11° 50'. If the base of the cliff is 1568 feet from the boat, how high is the cliff (to the nearest foot)
Step 1
Note that
that 11°50' is just 11 degrees and 50 minutes
60 minutes = 1 degree,
thus 50 minutes = x degree
50/60 degrees
= 0.83°
Hence: 11°50' = 11.83°.
Step 2
We solve using Trigonometric function of tan
tan theta = Opposite/Adjacent
theta = 11.83°
Adjacent = 1568 feet
Opposite = Height of the cliff = x
tan 11.83° = x/1568
Cross Multiply
x = tan 11.83 × 1568
x = 328.429195 feet
Approximately = 328 feet
The height of the cliff is 328 feet
