Answer:

  128 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the tower above eye-height is related to the angle by ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(72°) = (tower height above eye height)/(40 ft)

  tower height above eye height = (40 ft)×tan(72°) = 123 ft

Since eye height is 5 ft, the total height of the tower from the ground is ...

  tower height = eye height + height above eye height

  tower height = 5 ft + 123 ft

  tower height = 128 ft

Ben can type 25 words in half a minute. At this rate, how many words can he type in 5 minutes?
Kruka [31]
I can’t see the “students work”. But the answer would be 250 words in 5 minutes.
Here’s how you would set up the equation:
25x(5*2)=
So your first step would be to multiply 5 and two because they’re in parenthesis, which would be 10.
So now you have:
25x10
25 times 10 is 250.
Hope that makes sense and helps! :)
