Answer: The tall cliff is 118.20 feet tall and the short cliff is 70.32 feet tall.
If you draw a picture with 2 cliffs and a river in the middle, you have find 2 right triangles. In each triangle the adjacent side to our known angle is the river of 90 feet. And the unknown side is the opposite leg.
Therefore, we can set up a tangent equation.
From the top of the short cliff to the top of the tall cliff, we can right and solve the following trig equation:
tan(28) = x /90
x = 47.88
From the top of the short cliff to the bottom, we can right and solve the following trip equation.
tan(38) = x/90
x = 70.32
The 70.32 is also the height of the short cliff. And adding the two answers together will give you the height of the tall cliff.
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2
this theorem only works on triangles with an angle of 90 degrees or a right triangle.
18^2 + 24^2 = 900
the square root of 900 is 30
I did the square root of 900 because the square root is the 'opposite' of squaring which is what you need to do in order to find 'c' is the Pythagorean theorem. 'a' is 18, and 'b' is 24
Answer is 30
Answer:
K = -72
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Get K/9 by itself to do so add 3 to both sides eliminating it on the left by turning the -11 into -8
2. Multiply by 9 on both sides eliminating the division of 9 on the left and turning -8 into -72 leaving the equation as K = -72
To eliminate a number you must do its opposite so the opposite of -3 is +3 so you +3 to both sides. And always start the equation by eliminating what is not connected to the variable in this case the 9 was connected to the variable as K/9.
Answer: she needs 2 2/5 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is asking how much each person will need to pay. Simplifying the problem into an equation with variables (an algorithm) will greatly help you solve it:
S = Sales Tax = $ 7.18 per any purchase
A = Admission Ticket = $ 22.50 entry price for one person (no tax applied)
F = Food = $ 35.50 purchases for two people
We know the cost for one person was: (22.50) + [(35.50/2) + 7.18] =
$ 47.43 per person. Now we can check each method and see which one is the correct algorithm:
Method A)
[2A + (F + 2S)] / 2 = [ (2)(22.50) + [35.50 + (2)(7.18)] ]/ 2 = $47.43
Method A is the correct answer
Method B)
[(2A + (1/2)F + 2S) /2 = [(2)(22.50) + 35.50(1/2) + (2)7.18] / 2 = $38.55
Wrong answer. This method is incorrect because the tax for both tickets bought are not being used in the equation.
Method C)
[(A + F) / 2 ]+ S = [(22.50 + 35.50) / 2 ] + 7.18 = $35.93
Wrong answer. Incorrect Method. The food cost is being reduced to the cost of one person but admission price is set for two people.
