Answer:

h = 20.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply trigonometric ratio formula to find h.

Reference angle = 40°

Opposite side length = 17 cm

Adjacent side = h

Thus:

Tan (40) = 17/h

h × tan (40) = 17/h × h (multiplication property of equality)

h × tan(40) = 17

(h×tan(40)/tan(40) = 17/tan(40) (division property of equality)

h = 20.3 cm (1 decimal place)

A boulder falls off the top of a cliff during a storm. The cliff is 90 feet high.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

It will take the boulder approximately 4.28 seconds to hit the road

Step-by-step explanation:

The given height of the cliff from which the boulder falls, h = 90 feet

The equation that can be used to find the time it takes the boulder to fall is h = u·t + (1/2)·g·t²

Where;

h = The height of the cliff = 90 ft.

u = The initial velocity of the boulder = 0 m/s (The boulder is assumed to be at rest when it falls)

g - The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

t = How long it will take for the boulder to hit the road below

Plugging in the values gives;

90 = 0 × t + (1/2)×9.81×t² = 4.905·t²

∴ t = √(90/4.905) ≈ 4.28

The time it takes the boulder to hit the road, t ≈ 4.28 seconds.

At one​ store, Julia saved ​$10 with a coupon for 40​% off her total purchase. At another​ store, the ​$29 she spent on books is
barxatty [35]
Let "a" and "b" represent the values of the first and second purchases, respectively.
  0.40*(original price of "a") = $10
  (original price of "a") = $10/0.40 = $25.00 . . . . divide by 0.40 and evaluate
  a = (original price of "a") - $10 . . . . . . Julia paid the price after the discount
  a = $25.00 -10.00 = $15.00

At the other store,
  $29 = 0.58b
  $29/0.58 = b = $50 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of b and evaluate

Then Julia's total spending is
  a + b = $15.00 +50.00 = $65.00

Julia spent $65 in all at the two stores.
