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.

4. Use the diagram below to answer the question
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

≈ 397 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

Let h represent the height of the balloon above ground, then

h² + 50² = 400², that is

h² + 2500 = 160000 ( subtract 2500 from both sides )

h² = 157500 ( take the square root of both sides )

h ≈ 397 m ( to the nearest metre )

Joanie watched 1 out of three of a movie in the morning
Archy [21]

Answer:

7/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine how much she has watched.

1/3 + 1/5 The common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15. Multiply each fraction by an amount that will make the denominator 15

1/3 = 1*5/(3*5) = 5 / 15

1/5 = 1*3 / (5*3) = 3/15

Now add the two fractions together.

5/15 + 3/15 = 8/15

What is left of the movie? The whole movie = 1 so that which is left is

1 - 8/15

15/15 - 8/15

7 / 15

She has just a bit under 1/2 to go.
