5/6 of a number cannot be greater than the number
Answer:
For 2 parallelograms, the corresponding side lengths are 1 inch and x inches, and 2 inches and 6 inches.
Not drawn to scale
StartFraction 1 over x EndFraction = StartFraction 2 over 6 EndFraction
StartFraction 1 over x EndFraction = StartFraction 6 over 2 EndFraction
StartFraction 1 over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 2 over x EndFraction
One-half = StartFraction 6 over x EndFraction

Answer:
B. 60.26°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Consider the diagram representing the above scenario.
The top of the house where dad is standing is at A. The point where his son is standing is B. The bottom of the house is at C. AC is the height of house, BC is the distance between the house and son.
Height of the house (AC) = 21 ft
Distance between the house and son (BC) = 12 ft
Let the angle of depression for the dad be 'x'.
From the figure, it is clear that,
Angle of depression of the dad will be same as angle of elevation of Artie.
For triangle ABC,
Therefore, the angle of depression from the top of the house to the spot where Artie is standing is 60.26°.
Therefore, the correct option is option (B).
Since the question specifically asks about using a calculator, there's no point explaining how to do it (mostly because the buttons you have to press vary from model to model.
All we can tell you is that the calculator, depending on how many decimal digits it can store, will return something like 0.803802...
Even if there were millions of digits after the decimal point, that would still be an approximate value, since this number is irrational, i.e. it has infinite, non-repeating decimal digits.
