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.

If the total cost plus shipping is greater than $35,then you receive a 10% discount off the original selling price. Do you quali
RUDIKE [14]

<u>It's not clear what is the specific requirement of the question, but I'll assume a couple of situations to help you with your real problem.</u>

Answer:

$45 (qualified)

$30 (did not qualify)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentage Calculations</u>

Relative quantities are usually expressed as percentages (%). We say x percent of y is the proportion xy/100. When discounts or surcharges are applied, they are subtracted or added to the original quantity.

The question explains I receive a 10% discount off the original selling price if the total cost plus shipping is greater than $35. Let's assume the total cost plus shipping is $50. Since it's greater than $35, it qualifies for a discount. The discount is 10% of $50 = (10)(50)/100= $5. So the new total cost will be $50 - $5 = $45

Let's suppose now the total cost+shipping is $30. Since it's not greater than $35, no discount will be applied and we have to pay $30
