Answer:

37.75⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the building = 18 feet (vertical height)

Height of the ladder = 25 feet (Hypotenuse)

We solve this using tan θ = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

therefore θ = tan⁻¹ (\frac{18}{25})

θ (Angle of elevation) = 37.75⁰

Frosty Whip Inc. budgets 65 percent of its total expenses for marketing. Total expenses for the company this year are $500,000.
Misha Larkins [42]

65% of the total expenses is for marketing, in which 500,000 is the total.

First, change the percentage into decimal

65% = 65/100 = 0.65

Next, to find the amount budgeted for marketing, multiply the total with the decimal

0.65 x 500000 = 325000

$325000 is used for marketing

If I have a floor that is 100 3/4 feet by 75 1/2 what is the area
Vlad [161]
The area, assuming is a rectangular floor, is their product.

so simply convert the mixed to improper and get their product.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{100\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{100\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{403}{4}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{75\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{75\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{151}{2}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{403}{4}\cdot \cfrac{151}{2}\implies \cfrac{403\cdot 151}{4\cdot 2}\implies \cfrac{60853}{8}\implies 7606\frac{5}{8}~ft^2
