The tower is 650 meters high. Suppose a building is erected such that the base of the building is on the same plane as the base

of the​ tower, the angle of elevation from the top of the building to the top of the tower is 80.38° and the angle of depression from the top of the building to the foot of the tower is 65.05​°. How high would the building have to​ be?

Answer:

173.57\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h -----> the height of the building

x -----> the horizontal distance between the building and the tower

we know that

tan(80.38\°)=(650-h)/x

solve for x

x=(650-h)/tan(80.38\°) -----> equation A

tan(65.05\°)=h/x

solve for x

x=h/tan(65.05\°) ------> equation B

equate equation A and equation B and solve for h

h/tan(65.05\°)=(650-h)/tan(80.38\°)

tan(80.38\°)h=(650-h)tan(65.05\°)

tan(80.38\°)h=(650)tan(65.05\°)-(h)tan(65.05\°)

h[tan(80.38\°)+tan(65.05\°)]=(650)tan(65.05\°)

h=(650)tan(65.05\°)/[tan(80.38\°)+tan(65.05\°)]  

h=173.57\ m

A woman saw oranges and mangos ad the market. She bought some oranges at 35 cents each and some mangoes at $1.00. if she bought
marysya [2.9K]

Answer: 20 oranges and 5 mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the following:

x = number of oranges

y = number of mangoes

Make the following system of equations:

x + y = 25

0.35x + 1.00y = 12.00

Solve for x:

y = 25 - x

⇒ 0.35x + 1.00(25 - x) = 12.00

⇒ 0.35x + 25 - x = 12.00

⇒ -0.65x = -13.00

⇒ x = 20

Solve for y:

20 + y = 25

y = 5

∴ 20 oranges and 5 mangoes were purchased.

andrezito [222]
Given that a<span> local RadioShack store wants to buy a new line of plasma TVs. Manufacturer A offers chain discounts of 18/12, and Manufacturer B offers terms of 17/13.

Let the list price of the plasma TVs be x, then after a chain discount of 18/12 by Manufacturer A, the selling price of the plasma TVs will be (1 - 0.18)(1 - 0.12)x = 0.82(0.88)x = 0.7216x

Also, after the discount of 17/13 by manufacturer B, the selling price of the plasma TVs will be (1 - 0.17)(1 - 0.13)x = 0.83(0.87)x = 0.7221x

Thus, the final selling price after discount by manufacturer A is 0.7216 and the final selling price after dscount by manufacturer B is 0.7221x.

Therefore, Manufacturer A offers a </span><span>single equivalent discount rate that is the best deal.</span>
