Answer:

87.7 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC, attached.

The height of the building |AB|=443 meters

The distance of the agent across the street , |BC|=18 meters

We want to determine the angle at C.

Now,

$Tan C=\dfrac{|AB|}{|BC|} \\C=arctan (\dfrac{|AB|}{|BC|} )\\=arctan (\dfrac{443}{18} )\\=87.67^\circ\\\approx 87.7^\circ $(correct to the nearest tenth)$

The agent should sfoot his laser gun at an angle of 87.7 degrees.

anne buys used cars at auction for 2000 per car. there is 150 fee to take part in the auction. If anne buys 13 used cars how muc

katrin [286]

How to understand the problem is like this:
Total Cost = Entrance Fee + Total Car cost
So we know that the Entrance Fee is $150...
Total Cost = $150 + Total Car cost
So we know that Anne bought 13 cars, each at $2,000...
Total Cost = $150 + ($2,000 x 13)
We multiply because each car is $2,000 and Anne bought 13 of them.
So it works out like this:
Total Cost = $150 + ($2,000 x 13)
Total Cost = $150 + (26000)
Total Cost = $26150
