Answer:
17.11 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
You are using trigonometry in this problem.
The height of the flagpole represents the side <u><em>opposite</em></u> the given angle.
The base of the triangle is given as 19 meters and represents the side <u><em>adjacent</em></u> to the given angle.
Out of the main trigonomentric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent), only tangent uses both the opposite and adjacent sides.
Tan(angle) = opposite / adjacent
If we plug in what we know into that equation: <em>tan(42 degrees) = h / 19</em>
This means that <em>your answer = 19 * tan(42) = 17.11</em> meters
Better labeling so I can understand.
B; you can graph the function on a graphic calculator or use algebra find each of the desired aspects
Add all of the pops together
4+1+7+6=18
There are 7 root beers. So, the odds of choosing a root beer is 7 out of 18. or 7/18.
