Tan is used to solve the question as we were given opposite (as height of the cliff) and to find Adjacent ( the distance between the foot of the cliff to the boat)

Tan θ =Opp/Adj

Tan 22°=15/a

Cross Multiply

aTanθ=15°

Divide both sides by Tan 22

aTan22/Tan22 = 15/Tan 22

a = 15/Tan 22°

a = 37.13 m

Therefore the distance between the foot of the cliff to the boat is 37.13 metres

1.7cubic feet per minutes Given that one cubic foot is equivalent to approximately 7.48 gallons what would the pump rating be in

son4ous [18]

Answer:

449 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we know the question is asking us to round to the nearest tenth and find the rate of gallons per hour.

First:

Know there are 60 minutes in one hour

Second:

Take 7.48 and multiply it by 60

Third:

This should give you---448.8

Which is correct, but we are not done

Fourth:

Round to the nearest whole number

448.8

8 is closer to 10 than it is to 1 so we add 0.2

Which gives us 449

Five:

Just add the "per hour"

Six:

Your answer is---449 per hour---
