The horizontal distance to the control tower is approximately 18506.83m

Data;

  • distance from the ground = 3900m
  • angle of elevation = 11.4 degrees
  • horizontal distance = ?

<h3>Trigonometric Ratio</h3>

To solve this problem, we need to use trigonometric ratio SOHCAHTOA.

In this case, we have the value of opposite and angle and we need to find the adjacent to the angle. The tangent of the angle would be perfect for this.

tan\theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan11.4 = \frac{3900}{x}\\x = \frac{3900}{tan11.4}\\ x = 18506.83m

The horizontal distance to the control tower is approximately 18506.83m

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

using the rule of exponents

• a^{-m} ⇔ \frac{1}{a^{m} }, hence

9^{-2} = \frac{1}{9^{2} } = \frac{1}{81} → (a)

Simone buys a painting for 24000 later she sells it for 60000 how much is her percentage profit
Naily [24]

Answer:

percentage profit = 150%

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage profit = sp - cp/cp * 100

sp is the selling price = 60000

cp is the cost price = 24000

percentage profit = 60000-24000/24000 * 100

percentage profit = 36000/24000 * 100

percentage profit = 36000/240

percentage profit = 150%
