Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.
Let h the height of the hill. =
At position A, the angle of elevation is 40°, and the horizontal distance to the foot of the hill is x.
By definition,
tan(40°) = h/x h = x tan40 = 0.8391x
(1)
At position B, Joe is (x - 450) ft from the foot of the hill. His angle of elevation is
40 + 18 = 58°.
By definition, tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)
h = (x - 450) tan(58°) = 1.6003(x-450)
h = 1.6003x - 720.135 (2)
Equate (1) and (2).
1.6003x - 720.135 = 0.8391x 0.7612x = 720.135
x = 946.0523
From (1), obtain
h = 0.8391*946.0523 = 793.8 ft
Answer: The height of the hill is approximately 794 ft (nearest integer)

Step-by-step explanation:
An escalator at a shopping center is 200.75 feet long and rises at an angle of 15⁰. What is the vertical rise of the escalator? Round to hundredths place
No, the longest side must be less than the sum of the smaller sides or else they won't connect (try it yourself with straw or something)
40+30>120
70>120
false, therfor they canonot be a triangle

Answer:
a) (+) × (?) = (+)
(?) = (+)
b) (-) × (+) = ?
? = (-)
c) (?) × (-) = ?
? is undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
a) (+) × (?) = (+)
From the given equation in the question, by dividing both side of the equation by (+), we have;
((+) × (?))/(+) = (+)/(+)
(?) = (+)/(+) = (+)
Therefore, we have;
(+) × (+) = (+)
(?) = (+)
b) (-) × (+) = ?
From the given equation in the question we apply the operation rules as follows;
(-) × (-) = (+)
(-) × (+) = (-)
Therefore;
(-) × (+) = ? = (-)
? = (-)
c) (?) × (-) = ?
From the rules of multiplication, we have;
(-) × (-) = (+)
(+) × (-) = (-)
Therefore, when (?) = (-), ? = +, from which we have;
(?) ≠ ?, which is an error
Similarly, when (?) = (+), ? = -, therefore, (?) and ?, always changes sign
Therefore, the equation, (?) × (-) = ?, is undefined.
