Answer:

279.62 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a rectangle with 5ft x 305ft sides representing the area between your device and the base of the courthouse.

In addition to this we have an angle of 42 °

The height would come being the length of the opposite side of this triangle.

We know that:

tan (° A) = opposite / adjacent

Adjacent side is 305 ft and ° A is 42 °

Solved for opposite:

Opposite = adjacent * tan (° A)

Opposite = 305 * tan (42) = 274.62 feet

We must add 5 feet to this result and we are left with:

274.62 + 5 = 279.62

It means that the height is 279.62 feet

Sudhir bought an almirah for RS 13600 and spent RS 400 on its transportation . He sold it for RS 16800 . find the his gain perce
oee [108]

Answer:

His gain percent is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to find the percentage gain of the business.

We need the following parameters;

The cost price which is the sum of the amount she bought the goods + the amount spent on transport

Using the values we have in the question;

The cost price will be;

13,600 + 400 = Rs 14,000

The selling price = Rs 16,800

Mathematically the percentage gain will be;

% gain = (selling price- cost price)/selling price * 100%

% gain = (16,800-14,000)/14,000 * 100/1

% gain = 2800/14,000 * 100/1 = 1/5 * 100/1 = 20%
