Answer:

distance of his partner from the base of the tower ≈ 53.6 ft(nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The forest ranger is on top of a fire tower and he sees his partner on the ground at the angle of depression of 40°. The tower is 45 ft tall.  

The illustration forms a right angle triangle.

The adjacent side of the triangle is the distance from the partner to the base of the tower.

Using tangential ratio

tan 40° = opposite/adjacent

tan 40° = 45/adjacent

cross multiply

adjacent tan 40° = 45

divide both sides by tan 40°

adjacent =45/tan 40°

adjacent = 45/0.83909963117

adjacent = 53.6289116667

distance of his partner from the base of the tower ≈ 53.6 ft

If tatianna works 3hrs a day on school days and make $123.75 a week what is her hourly rate?​
madreJ [45]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Her hourly rate is $8.25

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

Tatianna works 3 hours a day on school days and makes a total of $123.75 in a week

<u>We know that:</u>

There are 5 school days in a week

<u>We are given that:</u>

She works for 3 hours a day each of those days

<u>Therefore:</u>

Total number of hours worked = hours worked daily * number of days

Total number of hours worked = 3 * 5 = 15 hours in a week

<u>The equation used to calculate Tatianna's earnings is:</u>

Amount she makes in a week = Total number of hours worked * hourly rate

<u>Now, we substitute with the givens to get the hourly rate as follows:</u>

Amount she makes in a week = Total number of hours worked * hourly rate

123.75 = 15 * hourly rate

Hourly rate = $8.25

How to <br> Write <br> 3/9<br> in simplest form.
White raven [17]
To write it in simplest form, you must find a common factor.

In \frac{3}{9}, 3 is a factor of both 3 and 9

3÷3=1 and 9÷3=3

So \frac{3}{9} =  \frac{1}{3}

\frac{1}{3} is your answer in simplest form.
