Due in 1 hours, 24 minutes. Due Fri 06/28/2019 11:59 p A survey team is trying to estimate the height of a mountain above a leve

l plain. From one point on the plain, they observe that the angle of elevation to the top of the mountain is 24°. From a point 1000 feet closer to the mountain along the plain, they find that the angle of elevation is 26 How high (in feet) is the mountain? Preview

Answer:

Height of the mountain is 5108.80 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached, h is the height of a mountain AB.

At a point C angle of elevation of the mountain is 24°

Now survey team gets closer to the mountain by 1000 feet then angle of elevation is 26°.

Now from ΔABC,

tan24 = \frac{h}{x+1000}

0.445 = \frac{h}{x+1000}

h = 0.445(x + 1000)------(1)

From ΔABD,

tan26 = \frac{h}{x}

0.4877 = \frac{h}{x}

h = 0.4877x -----(2)

Now we equation 1 and equation 2

0.4452(x + 1000) = 0.4877x

0.4877x - 0.4452x = 1000(0.4452)

0.0425x = 445.20

x = \frac{445.20}{0.0425}

x = 10475.29 feet

Now we plug in the value of x in equation 2.

h = (10475.29)×(0.4877)

h = 5108.80 feet

Therefore, height of the mountain is 5108.80 feet

What expression is not equivalent to 1/343
GREYUIT [131]
1 / 343
This is just equal to 
1 / 7^3 = 7^-3

A. 7^-1 * 7^-2 = 7^(-1 + -2) = 7^-3
B. 7^7 * 7^-10 = 7^( 7+ -10) = 7^-3
C. 7^-2 * 7^-5 = 7^(-2 + -5) = 7^-7
D. 7^-5 * 7^2 = 7^(-5 + 2) = 7^-3

So the correct answer is letter C. 7^-2 * 7^-5

John ran 6 2/3 miles last week he ran 1 1/3 miles each day how many days did he run
Murljashka [212]

6\frac{2}{3} = \frac{3(6) + 2}{3} = \frac{20}{3} miles

1\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3(1) + 1}{3} = \frac{4}{3} miles/day

\frac{20}{3} miles ÷ \frac{4}{3} miles/day

= \frac{20(miles)}{3} * \frac{3(days)}{4 (miles)}

= \frac{20(3) days}{3(4)} = \frac{20 days}{4} = 5 days

Answer: 5 days
