You look down at an object on the ground. If your eyes are

Answer:

We can think of this as a triangle rectangle.

We know that you eyes are 55ft above the ground, this can be one cathetus.

We also know that you see with an angle of depression of 50°, from this angle, our known cathetus would be the opposite cathetus.

Now we want to know how far is the object from you, this would be the hypotenuse of the triangle rectangle.

So we only know one angle and the opposite cathetus to this angle, then we can use the relation:

Sin(θ) = (opposite cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

Then if we use this equation, we will get:

Sin(50°) = 55ft/hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 55ft/sin(50°) = 71.8 ft

This means that the distance between you and the object is 71.8 ft.

The original price of a pair of shoes is $42. The sale price is 20% off the original price. What is the amount off the original
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a) What is the amount off the original price?

= $8.4

b) What is the new price for the pair of shoes?

= $33.6

Step-by-step explanation:

a) What is the amount off the original price?

We are told that:

The sale price is 20% off the original price.

Original price = $42

Hence:

$42 × 20%

$42 × 20/100

= $8.4

b) What is the new price for the pair of shoes?

The new price =

0riginal price - Amount off the original price

= $42 - $8.4

= $33.6

The original price = $33.6

If x represents an even number, which expression represents an odd number?
Sauron [17]
Test the choices !
Pick an even number, and see what each choice does to it.

Let's start with, say,  6 .
We'll try each choice, and see which one produces an odd number:

a).  6 to the 2nd power. . . . . .  6 x 6 = 36.  That's not an odd number.

b).  6 + 3  =  9  This could be it.  9 is odd. We'll save this one.

c).  3·6 = 18.  That's not an odd number.

d).  6/3 = 2.  That's not an odd number.

The only one that gave us an odd number is (b).
