From the top of a tower, the angle of depression to a flower on the ground

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ronch [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

25.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right triangle with the right angle at the foot of the tower. The interior angle of the triangle at the top is the complement of the angle of depression. 90 - 74 = 16; it measures 16°. The leg at the bottom has length x. The height of the tower is the vertical leg and is 90 ft. We are looking for x.

For the 16° angle, x is the opposite leg, and 90 ft is the adjacent leg.

tan A = opp/adj

tan 16° = x/(90 ft)

x = 90 ft * tan 16°

x = 25.8 ft

Answer: 25.8 ft

Write 2.7 x 10^4 + 120 in scientific notation.
ryzh [129]

Hey there!

2.7 * 10^4 + 120

10^4

= 10 * 10 * 10 * 10

= 100 * 100

= 10,000

2.7 * 10,000 + 120

= 27,000 + 120

= 27,120

Therefore, your answer is. [10,000 * 2.712] because 10,000 * 2.712 is approximately 27,120

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

A cereal company's cost, in thousands of dollars, is represented by the function C(x)=2x+4500 and its revenue, in thousands of d
jekas [21]

Given , revenue function : R(x)= 5x

Cost function C(x) = 2x+4500

Profit  = Revenue - Cost

Hence, P = R(x) - C(x)

Total revenue for x = 12000 is R(12000) = 5(12000) = 60000

Total cost for x = 12000, C(12000) = 2(12000)+4500 = 28500

Profit = 60000-28500 = 31500

Answer = 31500
