Answer:

148ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, you'll have to imagine the statue makes a right angle triangle with the base since it has an angle of elevation from the base to the top of the torch.

Assuming the height from the pedestal to the top of the torch is y

The height of the statue is x

But we know the height of the pedestal = 150ft

The distance from the observer to the base of the pedestal = 250ft

And the angle of elevation = 50°

See attached document for better illustration.

Tanθ = opposite / adjacent

θ = 50°

Adjacent = 250

Opposite = y

Tan50 = t / 250

y = 50 × tan50

y = 50 × tan50

y = 50 × 1.1917

y = 297.925ft

The height of the statue from the base of the pedestal to the top of the torch is 297.925ft

The height of the statue = x

x = (height of the statue + height of the pedestal) - height of the pedestal

x = y - 150

x = 297.925 - 150

x = 147.925ft

Approximately 148ft

The height of the statue is 148ft

Ronnie, Mack, Kim, and Ada together stacked a total of 40 pizzas in a pan. Ronnie stacked 0.25 of the pizzas, Mack stacked 9 of
natta225 [31]
Hello!

Here's how much each person stacked:

Ronnie -- 0.25 of the 40 pizzas.

Mack -- 9/40

Kim -- 35% of the 40 pizzas.

Ada -- rest of the pizzas.

Now, the questions asks for who stacked the most pizzas.

First, find our how many pizzas they stacked out of 40.

40 × 0.25 = 10

40 × 35% = 14

10 + 9 + 14 = 33

40 - 33 = 7

This means that Ronnie stacked 10 pizzas, Mack stacked 9 pizzas, Kim stacked 14 pizzas, and Ada stacked 7 pizzas.

ANSWER:

Kim stacked the most pizzas since she stacked 14 of them.

FIRST CORRECT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST AND 50 POINTS.
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

A) 5^3*5^{-4}=5^{3-4}=5^{-1}=\frac{1}{5} (Yes. It has a value between zero and one.)

B) \frac{3^5}{3^{-6}}=3^{5-\left(-6\right)}=3^{5+6}=3^{11}=177147 (No. It does not have a value between zero and one.)

C) \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^3* \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2=\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{3+2}=\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^5=\frac{1^5}{4^5}=\frac{1}{1024}. (Yes. It has a value between zero and one.)

D) \frac{\left(-7\right)^5}{\left(-7\right)^7}=\left(-7\right)^{5-7}=\left(-7\right)^{-2}=\frac{1}{\left(-7\right)^2}=\frac{1}{49} (Yes. It has a value between zero and one.)
