Answer:
15.95 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Angle of elevation = 62°
Using trigonometric relation :
Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent
From the drawing attached :
Opposite = 30 feets
Distance between girl and lighthouse = d
Tan 62 = 30 / d
1.8807264 * d = 30
d = 30 / 1.8807264
d = 15.951283
d = 15.95 feets
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
4 people = 15 days
1 people = 15/4 = 3.75
so, 6 people = 3.75 × 6
= 22.5
You can use the identity
cos(x)² +sin(x)² = 1
to find sin(x) from cos(x) or vice versa.
(1/4)² +sin(x)² = 1
sin(x)² = 1 - 1/16
sin(x) = ±(√15)/4
Then the tangent can be computed as the ratio of sine to cosine.
tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = (±(√15)/4)/(1/4)
tan(x) = ±√15
There are two possible answers.
In the first quadrant:
sin(x) = (√15)/4
tan(x) = √15
In the fourth quadrant:
sin(x) = -(√15)/4
tan(x) = -√15
Answer:
$42.88
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create a proportion using the following setup:
cost/pounds=cost/pounds
We know that it costs $20.42 for a 10 pound turkey.
$20.42/10 pounds= cost/pounds
We don't know how much a 21 pound turkey costs, so we can say that it costs $x for a 21 pound turkey.
$20.42/ 10 pounds= $x/ 21 pounds
20.42/10=x/21
We want to find x, by getting x by itself.
x is being divided by 21. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 21.
21*(20.42/10)=(x/21)*21
21* 20.42/10=x
21*2.042=x
42.882=x
Round to the nearest cent, or hundredth.
42.88=x
x= $42.88
A 21 pound turkey costs $42.88
