69.01 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
The tangent function is useful for problems like this. Let the height of the spire be represented by h. The distance (d) across the plaza from the first surveyor satisfies the relation ...
tan(50°) = (h -1.65)/d
Rearranging to solve for d, we have ...
d = (h -1.65)/tan(50°)
The distance across the plaza from the second surveyor satisfies the relation ...
tan(30°) = (101.65 -h)/d
Rearranging this, we have ...
d = (101.65 -h)/tan(30°)
Equating these expressions for d, we can solve for h.
(h -1.65)/tan(50°) = (101.65 -h)/tan(30°)
h(1/tan(50°) +1/tan(30°)) = 101.65/tan(30°) +1.65/tan(50°)
We can divide by the coefficient of h and simplify to get ...
h = (101.65·tan(50°) +1.65·tan(30°))/(tan(30°) +tan(50°))
h ≈ 69.0148 ≈ 69.01 . . . . meters
The tip of the spire is 69.01 m above the plaza.
He drank more than half of his drink... So we need to look for fractions greater than 1/2.
First, lets find equivalents of 1/2
If all of these fractions are equal to 1/2, then by adding to the numerator of these fractions, we'l have fractions greater than 1/2.
2 +1 3
__= ___
4 4
3/4 is greater than 1/2
Mike could have drunken 3/4 of the juice
4/6>1/2 Mike could have drunken 4/6 of the juice
5/8 is greater then 1/2 Mike could have drank 5/8 of the drink.
Answer=3/4, 4/6, 5/8 and many more possible fractions
