While surveying Overlook Cave, Mike measures the angle of elevation from his line of sight to the top of a rock formation as 22°

. The rock formation is 10 feet away and he is measuring from a point 3 feet above the floor of the cave. To the nearest tenth of a foot, how high is the rock formation?

Answer:

The rock formation is approximately 7 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>We can visualize this situation as a triangle and know that the bottom side is </em><em>10</em><em> and the angle of elevation (the angle created by Mike and the ground, looking to the top of a rock). With this information, we can use tangent to solve.</em>

<em>x = the height of the rock formation</em>

tan(22°) = x/10

10 tan(22°) = x

x = ~4.04 feet

<em>We also have to add the </em><em>3 feet</em><em> to it because it is being measured 3 feet above the floor.</em>

x + 3 = 7.04 feet

It cost $36.75 for three tickets to visit the science center. It cost $51 for 4 tickets to visit the zoo. Which attraction will
Ber [7]
Find the cost for one ticket for the science center.
36.75 ÷ 3 = 12.25
Multiply the product with 12 to get the cost of 12 tickets.
12.25 × 12 = 147
Find the cost of 1 zoo ticket.
51 ÷ 4 = 12.75
Find the cost of 12 tickets by multiplying the product and 12
12.75 × 12 = $153
12 Science Center Tickets cost $147
12 zoo tickets cost $153

The Zoo costs more than the Science Center.

To find out how much more the Zoo costed, subtract 147 from 153.
153 - 147 = 6
The zoo only costs $6 more for 12 students.
So, you're answers are Zoo and $6
