The distance from the tower to the fire is 529.10feet

<h3>Angle of depression</h3>

The distance from the tower to the fire is the hypotenuse of the resulting triangle

Given the following

  • Height of the tower = 110ft

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

sin theta = opp/hyp

sin 12 = 110/H

H = 110/sin12

H = 110/0.2079

H = 529.10

Hence the distance from the tower to the fire is 529.10feet

What is 56.25% as a fraction
Nastasia [14]
<span>Example: 56.25%/100 = .5625, Next, count the number of digits to the right of the decimal point, say that number is n, and multiply and divide the decimal by 10^n. For your example n = 4 so multiply and divide the decimal by 10^4, which is 10000, giving 5625/10000 which is the fraction sought. This last operation converts the decimal fraction to a whole number needed for the numerator of the fraction. </span>

How many ways can the words in d-r-a-g-o-n-f-l-y be arranged
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

362880 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The word dragonfly has 9 different letters.

So, to find how many ways this word can be arranged, we just need to calculate the factorial of 9:

First letter has 9 possibilities

Second letter has 8 possibilities (one used)

Third letter has 7 possibilities (two used), and so on.

So the number of ways is:

9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 362880 ways
