The distance from the kayak to the mountain to the nearest whole number is 43 meters.

The situation will form a right angle triangle as shown below in the diagram.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
  • One of its angle is 90 degrees.
  • The sides and angle can be found by using trigonometric ratios.

The height(opposite side) of the triangle is the kayak distance from the mountain to the lake below. The distance from the kayak to the mountain is the adjacent side of the triangle.

Therefore, using trigonometric ratios,

tan 35 = opposite / adjacent

tan 35° = 30 / a

a = 30 / tan 35°

a = 30 / 0.70020753821

a = 42.8444402023

a = 42.84 meters

a ≈ 43 meters

A recipe for chicken soup calls for 4 cups of water fir 9 servings. How many servings can be made with 12 pints of water?
Vlad [161]
First lets convert the pints to cups. 

1 pint = 2 cups 
12 pints = ? cups

Now lets multiply to find out how many cups are in 12 pints. 

12 × 2 = 24 
24 cups in 12 pints.  

Now lets look at the information we have.

4 cups of water per 9 servings

Now lets divide to see how many time 24 goes into 4.

24 ÷ 4 = 6

Now lets multiply:-

6 × 9 = 54

So, 54 servings of water fir in 12 pints of water.

Hope I helped ya!!!
