A man on a 135-ft vertical cliff looks down at an angle of 16°13' and sees his friend.

1 answer:

6 0

A) Use the trigonometric function and ratio cos(x) = A/H. (Adjacent/Hypotenuse)
1. cos(x) = 135/H
2. H*cos(16°) = 135
3. H = 135/cos(16°)
***Make sure calculator is in degree mode***
4. H = 140.44 ft (rounded to two decimal places)
________

b) Use the function and ratio tan(x) = O/A (Opposite/Adjacent)
1. tan(x) = O/A
2. tan(16°) = O/135
3. 135*tan(16°) = O
4. O = 38.71 ft (two decimal places)

Good luck!

Serhud [2]

Answer:

24 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Red:Blue = 3:2$

$Cars = 40$

Required

Determine the number of red cars

Number of red cars is calculated using:

$Red\ Cars = \frac{Red\ Ratio}{Total\ Ratio} * Cars$

$Red\ Cars = \frac{3}{3 + 2} * 40$

$Red\ Cars = \frac{3}{5} * 40$

$Red\ Cars = \frac{3 * 40}{5}$

$Red\ Cars = \frac{120}{5}$

$Red\ Cars = 24$
