Answer:

C. 20480

Step-by-step explanation:

so the equation is (60x3) divided by 15 because there are 3 minutes and 60 seconds in each minute and the bacteria doubles every 15 seconds so when you get your answer (12) that is how many times you will double 5.

Helga [31]

Answer:

1) From the measure of 40°, you can write:

tan(40°) = 100/x, where x is the base from the building to the tower

⇒x=100/tan(40°) = 119,18 m

2) From the measure of 30°, you can write

tan(30°) = y / 119,18, where y is the height from the roof of Jill's building to the top of the tower.

Then, y = tan(30°) * 119,18 = 68,81 m

3) The height of Jill's building is 100 - 68,81 = 31,19 m
