Given:

Height of the Statue of Liberty = 305 feet

Angle of elevation = 9 degrees

To find:

The between the tourist and the Statue of Liberty.

Solution:

Using the given information, draw a figure as shown below.

In a right triangle,

\tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}

In the triangle ABC,

\tan 9^\circ=\dfrac{305}{x}

x=\dfrac{305}{\tan 9^\circ}

x=1925.6942

x\approx 1926

Therefore, the tourist is standing 1926 feet from the Statue of Liberty.

The regular nonagon has rotational symmetry of which angle measures? Check all that apply.
11111nata11111 [884]
Consider the center of the nonagon. If we join the center to all the vertices, the central angle of 360°, is divided into 9 equal angles, each with a measure of:

360°/9=40°

So to a nonagon rotated 40°, clockwise or counterclockwise, is indistinguishable from the original one. 

similarly if we rotate 80 ° c.wise or c.c.wise 

in general, a nonagon has a rotational symmetry of 40°n,

where n∈{...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}...

where 40°n, for n negative, means we are rotating clockwise.


Answer: any angle which is a multiple of 40°

Solve the equation<br> 5.4/12 = z/8
saul85 [17]

Answer:

18/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5.4/12 = 1/8 is equivalent to (5.4)(1/12) = (z/8), or

                                              (54/10)(1/12) = z/8.

The LCD is (10)(8)(12), or 120.

Mult. both sides by 120 yields 54 = 15z.

Dividing both sides by 15, we get z = 54/15 = 18/5 = z

Sanji paid 25 for two scarves which were different prices when she got home she could not find the receipt she remember that one
laila [671]
Answer:

The answer is x = 14 the more expensive scarf

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 25

3 + y + y = 25 (x = 3 + y)

3 + 2y = 25

2y = 25 - 3

2y = 22

y = 22/2

y = 11

x = 3 + y

x = 3 + 11

x = 14 (the more expensive scarf)

(x,y) ; (14,11)

10. In right triangle FGH shown below,
Vikki [24]

Applying the leg rule, and solving algebraically, the lengths are determined as:

JG = 9

HJ = 12

<h3>What is the Leg Rule?</h3>

The Leg rule states that when an altitude bisects the right angle of a right triangle and intersects the hypotenuse, then, hypotenuse/leg = leg/part.

Find length of JG using algebraic solutions and the leg rule:

Let JG = x

Hypotenuse = x + 16

Leg = 15

Part = x

Therefore:

(x + 16)/15 = 15/x (leg rule)

Cross multiply

x(x + 16) = (15)(15)

x² + 16x = 225

x² + 16x - 225 = 0

Factorize

(x + 25)(x − 9) = 0

x = -25 or x = 9

The length of JG (x) cannot be negative, therefore, the length of JG = 9.

Find length of JG using algebraic solutions:

Let HJ = y

Based on the altitude theorem, we would have:

y = √(16 × JG)

Substitute

y = √(16 × 9)

y = √(144)
y = 12

Therefore, the length of HJ is: 12.
