The height of the antenna on the roof of the local building is approximately 8 meters.

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
  • One of its angles is equals to 90 degrees
  • The sides of the triangles can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

Therefore, let's find the height of the building and the radio antenna from the eye point.

Using trigonometric ratios,

tan 40° = opposite / adjacent

tan 40° = x / 25

where

x = the height of the building and the radio antenna from the eye point.

x = 25 tan 40

x = 25 × 0.83909963117

x = 20.9774907794 meters

Let's find the height of the building from his eye point.

tan 28° = y / 25

where

y = height of the building from his eye point

y = 25 × tan 28°

y = 25 × 0.53170943166

y = 13.2927357915 meters

Height of the antenna = 20.9774907794 - 13.2927357915 = 7.68475498786

Height of the antenna ≈ 8 meters

Answer:

$180

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we can set up a proportion and solve.

You earn $45 for 7.5 hours of work, and you earn $ x for 30 hours of work

45/7.5=x/30

Cross multiply

45*30=7.5*x

1350=7.5x

To solve for x, we need to get x by itself. It is being multiplied by 7.5. To undo this, divide both sides by 7.5

1350/7.5=7.5x/7.5

180=x

So, for 30 hours of work, you would earn $180

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

the volume of sand is 50 ft^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, rectangular prism.

Given data

Length  l= 4 ft Width w= 5ft\\Height h = 3ft

if the sandbox is filled with sand of 2\frac{1}{2 } ft deep the volume of the sand in the box will be calculated based on the the depth of the sand

converting the depth of sand from mixed fraction to proper fraction we have 2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}

the expression for the volume of a rectangular prism is

volume of sand = length * width* height

substituting our data into the expression we have

volume of sand= 5*4 * \frac{5}{2} \\volume of sand = \frac{100}{2} \\volume of sand = 50 ft^{3}

Can you help please?

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical advantage can be defined using distances:

Mechanical advantage = input distance / output distance

Or it can be defined using forces:

Mechanical advantage = output force / input force

Solving for the output force:

Output force = mechanical advantage × input force

Plugging in values:

Output force = 2.2 × 202 N

Output force = 444.4 N
