Answer:

328 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From a boat ont he lake, the angle of elevation to the top of a cliff is 11° 50'. If the base of the cliff is 1568 feet from the boat, how high is the cliff (to the nearest foot)

Step 1

Note that

that 11°50' is just 11 degrees and 50 minutes

60 minutes = 1 degree,

thus 50 minutes = x degree

50/60 degrees

= 0.83°

Hence: 11°50' = 11.83°.

Step 2

We solve using Trigonometric function of tan

tan theta = Opposite/Adjacent

theta = 11.83°

Adjacent = 1568 feet

Opposite = Height of the cliff = x

tan 11.83° = x/1568

Cross Multiply

x = tan 11.83 × 1568

x = 328.429195 feet

Approximately = 328 feet

The height of the cliff is 328 feet

If a dies is rolled one time, find these probabilities. getting a number less than or equal to 4
trapecia [35]
Hi there!

So let's see, we have a die and need to know the probability of rolling a number less than or equal to 4. Let's list the numbers that are less than or equal to 4: 1, 2, 3, 4. Now, since we know that there are 6 numbers on a die and 4 of them are less than or equal to 4, we can set up a fraction to find the percentage. The fraction would be 4/6 because 4 out of the 6 numbers on the die are less than or equal to 6. We can simplify 4/6 to 2/3 as well. To find the percentage, all we need to do is divide the numerator by the denominator. This leaves us with approximately 66.66%.

Hope this helps!! :)
