Answer:

512 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the parking lot at the Red Hill Shopping Center, the angle of sight (elevation) to the top of the hill is about 25. From the base of the hill you can also sight the top but at an angle of 55. The horizontal distance between sightings is 740 feet. How high is Red Hill? Show your subproblems.

Solution:

Let x be the distance from the base of the hill to the middle of the hill perpendicular to the height, let h be the height of the hill. Therefore:

tan 25 = h/(x + 740)

h = (x + 740)tan 25       (1)

tan 55 = h / x

h = x tan 55        (2)

Hence:

(x + 740)tan 25 = xtan 55

0.4663(x + 740) = 1.428x

0.4663x + 345.07 = 1.428x

0.9617x = 345.07

x = 359 ft.

h = xtan55 = 359 tan(55) = 512 ft.

A cake recipe calls for 1.5 cups of milk and 3 cups of flour. Seth made a mistake and used 5 cups of flour. How many cups of mil
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

<h2>2.5cup of milk</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

we are told that the ratio of milk to flour is 1.5cups to 3 cups

in other words, to prepare cake we need 1.5 cup of milk and 3 cups of flour

if we use 5 cups of flour we can balance up using the relation below

      1.5cups of milk require 3 cups of flour

      x cups of milk require 5 cups of flour

cross multiply we have

x=1.5*5/3

x=7.5/3

x=2.5cup of milk
