Answer:
14.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
82/12 = 100/x
x= 14.7
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
740% written as a decimal is 7.4 as a mixed number it would be 7 4/10 or simplified it would be 7 2/5
