Answer:

Most reasonable: 16°, 20° and 22°

If Emma is very short, 25°

Step-by-step explanation:

This is trigonometry using Tangent and arc-tan

Tan=opp/adj

The length of the adjacent is 20 yards. The opposite lengths given are the bottom, 6 yards and the top, 10 yards. Assuming Emma is of average height, it seems reasonable to subtract about 1.7 to 1.9 yards, the distance of her eyes above ground level, for accuracy. But that may not be necessary, given the range of angles.

I subtracted 1.8, about 5'6"

Calculating tangent from the top:

8.2/20 = .41. arc-tan .41= 22.3°

tangent for the bottom:

4.2/20= .21 arc-tan .21 = 11.8°

If you are using a scientific calculator, once you have the ratio of the opp to adj in decimal form, use the tan- key then the decimal to convert to degrees.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The selling price would be $420.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the mark up, we need to multiply the amount it originally costs by the percentage it is being marked up.

$300 * 40% = $120

Now that we have the mark up amount, we add it to the original cost to get the sale price.

$300 + $120 = $420
