Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
Complementary angles equal 90 degrees
90 - 20 = 70
I hope this helps!
To get the answer you need to find out how many miles she bikes in 10minutes.
Divide 50minutes by 10 you get 5. Now you divide 10(miles) by 5 and you get 2. So it means that in 10minutes she bikes 2miles. Now you need to know how many miles she bikes in 90minutes so if she bikes 2 in 10 then because 90:10=9 you do 2*9=18. She can bike 18miles in 90minutes. :))
Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.
Let h the height of the hill. =
At position A, the angle of elevation is 40°, and the horizontal distance to the foot of the hill is x.
By definition,
tan(40°) = h/x h = x tan40 = 0.8391x
(1)
At position B, Joe is (x - 450) ft from the foot of the hill. His angle of elevation is
40 + 18 = 58°.
By definition, tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)
h = (x - 450) tan(58°) = 1.6003(x-450)
h = 1.6003x - 720.135 (2)
Equate (1) and (2).
1.6003x - 720.135 = 0.8391x 0.7612x = 720.135
x = 946.0523
From (1), obtain
h = 0.8391*946.0523 = 793.8 ft
Answer: The height of the hill is approximately 794 ft (nearest integer)
Take the mixed number apart and have a whole number and a fraction
1+4 and 5/8 + 7/8
1+4=5
5/8 + 7/8 = 12/8
12/8 = 1 4/8
Add 5 to 1 4/8
5 + 1 4/8 = 6 4/8
1 5/8 + 4 7/8 = 6 4/8
In simplest term, the answer is also 6 1/2
-------------------------------------------------
Another way to solve it is by turning both 1 5/8 and 4 7/8 into improper fractions.
1 5/8 = 13/8
4 7/8 = 39/8
Add them.
13/8 + 39/8 = 52/8
Turn 52/8 into a mixed number.
52/8 = 6 4/8
Simplify it to get 6 1/2.
First five multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40
First five multiples of 9 are 9, 18, 27, 36, 45
Hope that helps :)
