Answer:

799 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using the Trigonometric function of Tangent.

tan theta = Opposite /Adjacent

From the above question, we have the height of the surveyor = 5.5 feet

theta = Angle of elevation = 65°

Adjacent = 370 feet

Let Opposite = height + height of spider rock

tan 65° = h - 5.5 /370 feet

Cross Multiply

tan 65° × 370 feet = h - 5.5

793.46756059 feet = h - 5.5

h = 793.46756059 feet + 5.5

h = 798.96756059 feet

Approximately = 799 feet

The height of the Spider rock = 799 feet

frez [133]

Step-by-step explanation:

Dosage per kg per day = 8mg

2 doses = 4mg

If a person weighs 82 pounds =? mg

1kg = 2.205 pounds

So 82 ÷ 2.205 = 37. 195 kg

So he should receive 37. 195 mg every 12 hours

It takes Billy fifteen minutes to complete 1/8 of a recipe. At this rate go long will it take for him to complete the recipe
vichka [17]

well, a WHOLE is 1, in this case is 8/8, that'd be a whole.


so Billy does 1/8 in 15 minutes, well, there are 8/8, so do the whole recipe that'd be 8 * 15 minutes, or 120 minutes, or 2 hours.


or you can see it this way, 1/8 is 15 minutes, since there are eight 1/8's, then it'd take 15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15 minutes.

Given the figure below, find the values of x and z.
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

x = 12

z = 101

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

First lets find z

Well the angle that has a measure of 79 degrees and angle z are supplementary angles meaning that the sum of the two is 180

So we can find the missing angle by subtract the given angle (79 in this case) from 180

180 - 79 = 101 so z = 101

Now lets find x

The angle that has a measure of 79 degrees and the angle labeled (6x+7) are vertical angles

If you didn't know vertical angles are congruent

That being said lets create an equation to solve for x

79 = 6x + 7

now we solve for x

step 1 subtract 7 from each side by

7 - 7 cancels out

79 - 7 = 72

now we have 72 = 6x

step 2 divide each side by 6

72/6=12

6x/6=x

we're left with x = 12
