<h3>Answer:  24 feet  (Choice D)</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. The goal is to find x, which is the horizontal distance from the base of the tree to the swing set.

Focus on triangle BCD.

The angle B is roughly 30.26 degrees, and this is the angle of depression. This is the amount of degrees Emir must look down (when starting at the horizontal) to spot the swing set.

We know that he's 14 ft off the ground, which explains why AB = CD = 14.

The goal is to find BC = AD = x.

---------------------------

Again, keep your focus on triangle BCD.

We'll use the tangent ratio to say

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(B) = CD/BC

tan(30.26) = 14/x

x*tan(30.26) = 14

x = 14/tan(30.26)

x = 23.9965714046732

That value is approximate. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

That value rounds to 24 feet when rounding to the nearest whole foot.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

x = \frac{9}{80}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x + \frac{9}{20} = \frac{9}{16}

Multiply through by 80 ( the LCM of 20 and 16 ) to clear the fractions

80x + 36 = 45 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

80x = 9 ( divide both sides by 80 )

x = \frac{9}{80}

REY [17]
All you need to do is 8 divided by 6. When you do so you get: 1.3 which could also be written as 1 3/8.

So each person gets 1 whole piece and 3/8 of another piece.
