Answer:

70.1 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

Let AC is the reservoir with A as the bottom and C is the top.

Now, B is the position of Howard which is 109 yards from A i.e. AB = 109 yards.

Again, the angle elevation from B to C is 50 degrees.

So, ∠ ABC = 50°  

Now, \cos 50 = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{109}{x}

⇒ x = 109 cos 50 = 70.1 yards.

Therefore, the distance between the top of the reservoir and Howard i.e. BC is equal to 70.1 yards. (Answer)

Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation: All he did was took the amount of red and gave it a ratio of 7:1 meaning that he will increase the amount of red and make it 21 because the number 8 increased by 3 so 7 must increase by 3 as well.
