<u>Given:</u>

It is given that the ridge is 360 inches tall.

<u>Assumptions:</u>

Assume you are 170.1 cm tall which equals 67 inches tall, the height from your eye to the floor is 360+67 = 427 inches.

The distance from your eye level to the bottom of the ridge is 427 inches.

Assume the angle A is 60°.

<u>To find the distance from you to your dog.</u>

<u>Solution:</u>

A right-angled triangle can be formed where the angle is 60°, the distance between you and the dog is the hypotenuse of the triangle and your height from the floor is the adjacent side of the triangle.

Assume the hypotenuse of the triangle measures x inches.

To determine the length of the hypotenuse, we determine the cos of the angle.

cos \theta = \frac{adjacent side}{hypotenuse} .

cos A = \frac{427}{x} , x = \frac{427}{cos60} , cos60=0.5.

x=\frac{427}{0.5} = 854.

So if the ridge is 360 inches tall and you are 67 inches tall and the angle A is 60°, the distance between your dog and you is 854 inches.

Express the calculation “four times as large as 124+645”
Effectus [21]

The calculation of the expression “four times as large as 124+645” end up in 1141.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  • The question is asked to Express the calculation “four times as large as 124+645”.
  • The given statement can be written in the expression form to perform the calculations.

Here, the phrase 'four times' represents the multiplication of 4.

⇒ “four times as large as 124+645” = 4(124) + 645

So, the first step is to multiply 4 with 124.

⇒ 4 × 124

⇒ 496

The expression is now modified as “496+645"

We know that, the final result is the addition of the two numbers 496 and 645 which is calculated as

⇒ 496+645

⇒ 1141

Therefore, the calculation of the expression “four times as large as 124+645” end up in 1141.
