A man on a 135-ft vertical cliff looks down at an angle of 16°13' and sees his friend.

a) How far away is the man from his friend?

b) How far is the friend from the base of the cliff?

Answers

Answer 1
a) Use the trigonometric function and ratio cos(x) = A/H. (Adjacent/Hypotenuse)
1. cos(x) = 135/H
2. H*cos(16°) = 135
3. H = 135/cos(16°)
***Make sure calculator is in degree mode***
4. H = 140.44 ft (rounded to two decimal places)
________

b) Use the function and ratio tan(x) = O/A (Opposite/Adjacent)
1. tan(x) = O/A
2. tan(16°) = O/135
3. 135*tan(16°) = O
4. O = 38.71 ft (two decimal places)

Good luck!
Answer 2

a)  the distance of the man from is friend is 140.59 ft

b) the distance between his friend and the base of the cliff is 39.26 ft

How to calculate the distance of the man from is friend?

It is given that a  man on a 135-ft vertical cliff looks down at an angle of 16°13' and sees his friend.

So, the vertical cliff, the line of sight of the man and the line joining his friend and the base of the cliff, forms a right angled triangle.

The angle 16°13' is the angle between the the vertical cliff and the line of sight of the man.Here the distance of the man from is friend is actually the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

We know that, in a right angled triangle,  

cosФ= [tex]\frac{base}{hypotenuse}[/tex], where Ф is the angle between the base and hypotenuse

In the right angle triangle we can write,

cos(16°13')= [tex]\frac{135}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

⇒ hypotenuse = 140.59 ft

∴ the distance of the man from is friend is 140.59 ft

How to find the distance from his friend and the base of the cliff?Here, the distance between his friend and the base of the cliff is actually the perpendicular of the right angled triangle.

We know that, in a right angled triangle,  

sinФ= [tex]\frac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}[/tex], where where Ф is the angle between the base and hypotenuse

sin(16°13')= [tex]\frac{perpendicular}{140.59}[/tex]

⇒ perpendicular = 39.26 ft

∴ the distance between his friend and the base of the cliff is 39.26 ft

A spinner with 4 equal sections (red, blue, green, yellow) is spun 43 times. About how many times would you predict it lands on blue? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

11 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space = {red, green, blue, yellow)

Probability of landing blue in a single spin ;

P(blue) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(blue) = number of blue / sample space

P(blue) = 1/4

Number of spins = 43

Expected number of times it'll land on blue :

P(blue) * number of spins

1/4 * 43 = 10.75

About 11 times

An amusement park sold 276 discount tickets and 299 full-price tickets. What percentage of the tickets sold were discount tickets?

Answers

Answer:Percentage of discount tickets =48%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of discount tickets = Number of discount tickets / total num ber of tickets  x 100

But Total number of tickets  = Discount tickets + full-price tickets

=  276 +299

 = 575 tickets

Percentage of discount tickets = 276/575  x 100/1

0.48 x 100= 48 %

Answers

Answer:

a₃₅ = 182

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is

d = 17 - 12 = 22 - 17 = 5

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 12 and d = 5 , then

a₃₅ = 12 + (34 × 5) = 12 + 170 = 182

What single percentage change is equivalent to a 12% decrease followed by a 18% increase?

Answers

Given:

12% decrease followed by a 18% increase.

To find:

The single percentage change is equivalent to the given set of percentages.

Solution:

Let the initial value be 100.

After 12% decrease, the value is:

[tex]v_1=100-\dfrac{12}{100}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]v_1=100-12[/tex]

[tex]v_1=88[/tex]

After 18% increase, the value is:

[tex]v_2=88+\dfrac{18}{100}\times 88[/tex]

[tex]v_2=88+15.84[/tex]

[tex]v_2=103.84[/tex]

The initial value  is 100 and the new value in 103.84. So, it represents  increase in the value. So, increase percentage is

[tex]Increase\%=\dfrac{\text{New -Initial}}{\text{Initial}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Increase\%=\dfrac{103.84-100}{100}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Increase\%=3.84[/tex]

Therefore, the value increased by 3.84%.

Lucia has 18 pieces of ribbon that she uses to decorate presents. One ribbon's length is 5/6 of a yard. How many yards of ribbon does Lucia have?

Answers

Answer: 15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given the information that Lucia has 18 pieces of ribbon that she uses to decorate presents and that the length of one ribbon is 5/6 of a yard.

Therefore, the number of yards of ribbon that Lucia has will be gotten by multiplying 5/6 by the total pieces of ribbon. This will be:

= 5/6 × 18

= 15 yards
