Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.
Let h the height of the hill. =
At position A, the angle of elevation is 40°, and the horizontal distance to the foot of the hill is x.
By definition,
tan(40°) = h/x h = x tan40 = 0.8391x
(1)
At position B, Joe is (x - 450) ft from the foot of the hill. His angle of elevation is
40 + 18 = 58°.
By definition, tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)
h = (x - 450) tan(58°) = 1.6003(x-450)
h = 1.6003x - 720.135 (2)
Equate (1) and (2).
1.6003x - 720.135 = 0.8391x 0.7612x = 720.135
x = 946.0523
From (1), obtain
h = 0.8391*946.0523 = 793.8 ft
Answer: The height of the hill is approximately 794 ft (nearest integer)
Answer:
£289.20
Step-by-step explanation:
13:2 = x:16 or 13/2 = x/16
cross multiply: 208 = 2x
simplify: x = 104
16 blue tiles x £2.80 each = £44.80
104 white tiles x £2.35 each = £244.40
44.80 + 244.40 = £289.20
Answer: x+1 is the equation and the slope will be 1/1
Step-by-step explanation:
6hrs = school
9hrs = sleeps = 18hrs // 24hrs ----6hrs left
3hrs = plays
6hrs = other things
playing = 12.5% -- 3/24 3/24*100
other things = 25% -- 6/24 6/24*100
