Answer: The angle of elevation is 18.4 degrees (Approximately)
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for more details.
The pole from top to bottom is 20 feet tall and is depicted as line FB. An observer is standing at a distance of 20 feet from the base of the pole, and that is depicted as line BA. The observer who is at point A looks up to the top of the flagpole at an angle of elevation shown as angle A.
Using angle A as the reference angle, line FB which is 20 feet would be the opposite (facing the reference angle), while line BA which is 60 feet would be the adjacent (that lies between the right angle and the reference angle).
Therefore, to calculate angle A;
Tan A = Opposite/Adjacent
Tan A = 20/60
Tan A = 1/3
Tan A = 0.3333
Checking with your calculator or table of values,
A = 18.4349°
Rounded to the nearest tenth,
A ≈ 18.4°
Answer:
23 males and 12 females
Step-by-step explanation:
x = # of females
y = # of males
x + y = 35
x + x + 11 = 35
2x + 11 =35 (SUBTRACT 11 FROM BOTH SIDES)
2x = 24 (DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 2)
x = 12 females
x + y =35
12 + y = 35 (SUBTRACT 12 FROM BOTH SIDES)
y = 23 males
23 males + 12 females = 35 students
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to set up a proportion
Let x = NK
7/13 = x/56 Notice that the longest side of the small trapezoid is the denominator of the fraction on the left. That means that the longest side of the large trapezoid must also be the denominator of that fraction on the right.
Cross multiply
13x = 7*56 Combine the right
13x = 392 Divide by 13
x = 392/13
x = 30.15
NK = 30.15
So the formula is
7*(1/3+1/5) = x
First find the common denominator of the fractions. In this case the common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15 so we must convert them to 15ths. To do that we divide 15 by the denominator and take that answer and multiply the numerator by it.
So for 1/3 we take 15/3(denominator) = 5 and multiply the numerator (1) by it
5 * 1 = 5 so 1/3 converts to 5/15
Do the same for 1/5 we take 15/5 = 3 and multiply the numerator (4) by it
3*4 = 12 so 4/5 converts to 12/15
Now we add 5/15 and 12/15 = 17/15 so we have our formula now to
7*17/15
We make seven a fraction 7/1 and multiply across 7*17 = 119 and 15 * 1 = 15
We have 119/15 which when we divide and get 7 14/15 as your answer
