57 ft because drawing it up, we can make a right angled triangle with the right angle between the height of the man in the building and the distance out from the building of the man in the street, and the 35 degrees between the line connecting the man in the street with the man in the building, and the line out from the building of the man in the street. Then, tan of the 35 degree angle is = to opposite (40ft)/adjacent (to solve for). By cross multiplication, the A or adjacent (dist out from the building) = 40/0.7 (0.7 = tan of 35 degrees) so the answer is 57 ft.

The correct answer is 57 feet. Since this is a right triangle and you know the angle and opposite side and are trying to find the adjacent side you can use tangent. tan  = \frac{40}{x}, so  x = \frac{40}{tan(35)}.

Answer:

There are 604,800 possible permutations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the digits are chosen is important, which means that the permutations formula is used to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

In this question:

7 digits from a set of 10(10 digits to 0-9). So

P_{(10,7)} = \frac{10!}{(10-7)!} = 604800

There are 604,800 possible permutations.
