Clark Kent and Lois Lane were laying on a blanket, enjoying a relaxing picnic when Clark noticed a giant asteroid approaching Ea

rth. Clark calculates the angle of elevation of the asteroid's approach to be 62°. Lois' penthouse apartment is also in the pathway of the asteroid's approach, 100 feet above ground. Clark's eye is 75 feet from the base of Lois' building. Will the asteroid take out Lois' penthouse apartment?

Answer:

The asteroid will not take out Lois' penthouse.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distance between Clark and the base of Lois' building is x = 75 feet and the asteroid is at an angle of elevation of Ф = 62°. These two components form a right-angled triangle with opposite side h which is the height of the asteroid above the ground.

So, by trigonometric ratios,

tanФ = h/x

h = xtanФ

h = 75 ft × tan62°

h = 75 ft × 1.8807

h = 141.1 feet

Since h = height of asteroid above the ground = 141.1 feet is greater than height of the penthouse above the ground = 100 feet, the asteroid will not take out Lois' penthouse.

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME
Ber [7]

by Pythagoras theorem,

hypotenuse² = base² + adjacent²

x² = 7² + 11²

x² = 49 + 121

x² = 170

x = √170

x = 13.03

x = 13(round fig)

hope it helps...!!!

Question 11 of 20 : Select the best answer for the question. 11. Find the value of x in the equation 2(x – 3) + 5x = 5(2x + 6).
ivolga24 [154]
<span>To answer this question, you need to know the rules to move a number to the left or right side of the equal sign. To solve this, you need to move all the x into one side, and then move the number into another side. The calculation would look like this:


2(x – 3) + 5x = 5(2x + 6)
2x -6 +5x = 10x +30
2x+ 5x - 10x = 30 +6
-3x= 36
x= 36/-3= -12</span>
