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:
Cheetahs can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 70 miles per hour. While they are the fastest land animal in the world, they can only maintain their speed for only 20 to 30 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(60 - 4x)(50 + 2x) = 2,800

Answer:
we conclude that the 'bait and switch' technique is not a promotional tactic used by a seller.
Hence, 'a' is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given options, the 'bait and switch' technique is not a promotional tactic used by a seller.
'Bait and switch' is a deceptive sale practice using which the sells try to attract (bait) the customers by offering attractive prices on certain items, but when the customers tend to go to the shop to buy the items, they witness the unavailability of the goods, or find the prices go higher compared to what they had been offered.
Now, since the customers are already present at the shop, the sellers try to pressurize the customer so that they could buy something else.
Therefore, we conclude that the 'bait and switch' technique is not a promotional tactic used by a seller.
Hence, 'a' is the correct option.
