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

Which of the following expressions represents the least common multiple of 15, 18, and 25?
Virty [35]

Answer:

(2)(3^2)(5^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>Least Common Multiple</u> (LCM) of a group of numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of all the numbers.

we have

15,18 and 25

Decompose the numbers in prime factors

15=(3)(5)

18=(2)(3^2)

25=(5^2)

Multiply common and uncommon numbers with their greatest exponent

so

The LCM is equal to

LCM=(2)(3^2)(5^2)

LCM=450

Felicia put $8500 into a CD that pays 2.8% interest compounded semiannual. According to the rule of 72, approximately how long w
maksim [4K]
<span>25.7 years The rule of 72 is a simple approximation on how long it will take to double your money. You simply divide 72 by the interest rate and you'll have your estimate on the number of years it will take. So 72 / 2.8 = 25.7 years. To demonstrate that it's just an estimate, you can take the log of 2 and divide by the log of 1.028 to get the exact value. This far more complicated calculation gives the result of 25.1 years. And to be honest, the estimate of 25.7 years is more than close enough for such an quick and easy rule of thumb.</span>
