<h3>
Answer: 24 feet (Choice D)</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below. The goal is to find x, which is the horizontal distance from the base of the tree to the swing set.
Focus on triangle BCD.
The angle B is roughly 30.26 degrees, and this is the angle of depression. This is the amount of degrees Emir must look down (when starting at the horizontal) to spot the swing set.
We know that he's 14 ft off the ground, which explains why AB = CD = 14.
The goal is to find BC = AD = x.
---------------------------
Again, keep your focus on triangle BCD.
We'll use the tangent ratio to say
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(B) = CD/BC
tan(30.26) = 14/x
x*tan(30.26) = 14
x = 14/tan(30.26)
x = 23.9965714046732
That value is approximate. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
That value rounds to 24 feet when rounding to the nearest whole foot.
If you add the 3/4s with the 2 1/4 hour breaks it would be 1 hour and 1 fourth.
Then you take 10-1/2 hours and subtract it by 1 hour and 1 fourth.
So you would get 9-1/4 hours
Answer:
i don't know sorry im just answering so i could ask question
-50 - (-221) = 171
This is because subtracting a negative number is like adding a positive version of that instead. For a more simple example:
5 - (-2) = 7 or 5 + 2 = 7
