Answer:
<u>A.) 11%</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1)</u> There are 9 favorable outcomes but only 1 outcome is possible, so that leaves us with a fraction of:
<u>Step 2)</u> Then we need to turn this into a decimal to find the percentage:
1 ÷ 9 = 0.111111111...
<u>Step 3)</u> We now need to turn this into a percent:
0.11 x 100% = 11%
Refer to the attached image.
Let the height of the Empire State Building = BC = 'x'
John is standing at distance from Empire State Building = AB = 1 mile
The angle of elevation = 11°
In triangle ABC,
Consider
x = 0.194 mile
Since 1 mile =5280 feet
So, x =
= 1024.32 feet.
So, the height of the Empire State Building is 1024.32 feet.
