Answer:

Option B) 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  A man on the third floor of a building shouts down to a person on the street. If the man is 25 feet up and the distance between the person on the street and the man in the building is 50 feet.

To find : What is the angle of elevation (in degrees) between the person on the street and the person in the building?

Solution :

According to question, a rough diagram is framed which shows the position of  man on street and man on building.

Refer the attached figure below.

A man on the third floor of a building is 25 feet up i.e. AB=25 feet.

The distance between the person on the street and the man in the building is 50 feet i.e. BC=50 feet.

We have to find the angle of elevation i.e. ∠C.

It form a right angle triangle,

Applying sin property of trigonometric,

\sin \theta=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

\sin \theta=\frac{AB}{BC}

\sin \theta=\frac{25}{50}

\sin \theta=\frac{1}{2}

\sin \theta=\sin 30^\circ

\theta=30^\circ

Therefore, Option B is correct.

The angle of elevation is 30°.

In 4 games, Larry averaged 23 PPG (points per game). How many points does he need to score in the last game to have an average o
ivann1987 [24]
Larry needs to score 33 points in the last game to have an average of 25 PPG.

To find the answer, we can solve the equation:

\frac{(4)23+p}{5}=25

<em />(where <em>p</em> is how many points he needs to score in the last game)

To find the mean of a group of numbers, you add them all up and divide the total by the number of numbers there are. Since Larry averaged 23 PPG in 4 games, we can multiply 23 by 4 to get the total of the first 4 games from the data. Then, we find <em>p</em>, which we will add to get our final total. Then, you divide by the 5 games.

\frac{(4)23+p}{5}=25
\frac{92+p}{5}=25
{92+p}=125
p=33

First, I simplified 4 x 23 to get 92. Then, I multiplied each side by 5 to get rid of the denominator. Finally, I subtracted 92 from each side to isolate <em>p</em>, and found that <em>p</em> = 33.

At the park, 4/7 of the children are boys. if there are 8 boys at the park, how many are girls?
Oksana_A [137]
There are 4/7 boys, so there are 3/7 girls.

Let the total number of children be x.

4/7x = 8
1/7x = 8 ÷ 4
1/7x = 2
3/7x = 2 x 3
3/7x = 6

There are 6 girls.
