Answer:

44.73 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the angle of elevation of an unfinished tower from a point of 120m away from its base is 25 degrees.

Using trigonometry ratio, the height of the tower can be calculated by

Tan Ø = height / base

Tan 25 = height / 120

Make height the subject of formula

Height = 120 × tan 25

Height = 55.96 m

How much higher will the tower need to be raised so that its angle of elevation from the same point will be 40 degrees?

Using the same formula to calculate the new height.

Tan 40 = new height / base

Tan 40 = new height / 120

Make the new height the subject of the formula.

New height = 120 × tan 40

New height = 100.69 m

Increase in height = new height - height

Increase in height = 100.69 - 55.96

Increase in height = 44.73m

Therefore, the tower will need 44.73m to be raised so that its angle of elevation from the same point will be 40 degrees.

Claire is 2 year younger than her sister. The
natta225 [31]

Given:

Claire is 2 year younger than her sister.

The  sum of ages is no less than 44 years.

To find:

Inequality and find the youngest age Claire can  be.

Solution:

Let the age of Claire be x.

Her sister's age = x+2

Sum of their ages is no less than 44 years. It means the sum ages is greater than or equal to 44.

x+(x+2)\geq 44

2x+2\geq 44

2x\geq 44-2

2x\geq 42

Divide both sides by 2.

x\geq 21

It means, Claire age can be greater than or equal to 21. So, the youngest age Claire can  be 21 years old.

Therefore, the required inequality is  2x+2\geq 44 and the correct option is B.
