Answer:

  • Given: Angle of elevation 15°
  • AB (height of tower)=100
  • AE=?
  • CE = 5100 (5000 feet heigher than the tower)

Now,

tan15°=

\frac{5100}{ae}

ae=

\frac{5100}{tan15}

.: ae = 19033.45

.: the aeroplane is 19033.45 m away from the control tower.

105.6% in decimal form
anastassius [24]

To turn 105.6% into a decimal, we can remove the percent sign and divide by 100.

105.6 ÷ 100 = 1.056

Therefore, 105.6% can be written as the decimal 1.056.

Ezra is filling bottles of water to hand out during a race. Each bottle of water holds 16 ounces and he has 4,005 ounces of filt
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

So just by the question, we are aware that when we divide 4,005 ounces by 16, it is not going to be a pretty number - there are going to be some left over in the form of a fraction.

First we must find out how many of these bottles can be completely filled until there is only the small fraction left that is not able to fill up a bottle. So let's divide:

\frac{4,005}{16}=250.3125

And now we know that 250 bottles will be filled completely. To find the amount of ounces left over, let's see how many ounces 250 bottles is:

250*16=4,000

There are 4,000 ounces in 250 bottles. So we need to subtract our initial amount from this known amount:

4,005-4,000=5

So there are only 5 ounces of water remaining after 250 bottles are completely filled. To put this into a fraction of the original amount, we just divide by the initial amount (4,005):

\frac{5}{4,005} =\frac{1}{801}

If the question is asking for the remainder in terms of a bottle, we just divide these 5 ounces by the 16 ounces it would take to fill this bottle:

\frac{5}{16}

A helicopter hovers 950 over......
Sholpan [36]
Okay, so here's the equation:
tan 44 = d/950
<span>0.01770469927 (I used a calculator to solve tan 44, so let's just use to the nearest hundredth)
</span>0.02 = d/950
100d = 1900
isolate d:
d = 19
19 feet
