Answer:

The original price of the phone is £388.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 5% of the price of the phone is reduced, you can simply multiply the reduced number which is £19.4 by 20. Your final answer should be £388 when you put it on a calculator or do it on a piece of paper.

From a window 20 feet above the ground, the angle of elevation to the top of a building across

Nikitich [7]

Answer: The answer is 381.85 feet.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a window is 20 feet above the ground. From there, the angle of elevation to the top of a building across the street is 78°, and the angle of depression to the base of the same building is 15°. We are to calculate the height of the building across the street.

This situation is framed very nicely in the attached figure, where

BG = 20 feet, ∠AWB = 78°, ∠WAB = WBG = 15° and AH = height of the bulding across the street = ?

From the right-angled triangle WGB, we have

$\dfrac{WG}{WB}=\tan 15^\circ\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{20}{b}=\tan 15^\circ\\\\\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{20}{\tan 15^\circ},$

and from the right-angled triangle WAB, we have'

$\dfrac{AB}{WB}=\tan 78^\circ\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{h}{b}=\tan 15^\circ\\\\\\\Rightarrow h=\tan 78^\circ\times\dfrac{20}{\tan 15^\circ}\\\\\\\Rightarrow h=361.85.$
