To measure the height of a mountain, a surveyor took two sightings, one 1000 feet farther from the mountain of the other. The first angle of elevation was 85° and the second was 83°.
What is the mountain’s height?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of the mountain was 28331.8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

An observer took the measurements from two sights C and D.

Point D was 1000 ft away from the earlier sight point C.

Angle of elevations from points C and D were 85° and 83° respectively.

From ΔABC,

tan85 = [tex]\frac{h}{x}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{h}{tan85}[/tex] -----(1)

Similarly, from ΔABD,

tan83 = [tex]\frac{h}{(x+1000)}[/tex]

x + 1000 = [tex]\frac{h}{tan83}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{h}{tan83}-1000[/tex] -----(2)

Now we substitute the value of x from equation (1) in the equation (2)

[tex]\frac{h}{tan85}=\frac{h}{tan83}-1000[/tex]

0.122785h - 0.087488h = 1000

0.035296h = 1000

h = 28331.822 ft

h ≈ 28331.8 ft

Therefore, height of the mountain was 28331.8 feet.

The price for the jacket is $96. The discount is 31.25%. The sales tax is 9.875%. The expression that represents this situation is Where represents the final price. The first term expresses the initial price. The second term is about the discount which has to be negative. The final term is about the sales tax which must be added to have the total price.

Answers

Answer: P = 96 - 30 + 9.48

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of the jacket is $96.

The discount is 31.25% and

The sales tax is 9.875%

To find the price paid, we subtract the discount from the original price and add the sales tax. This will be:

P=96 - (31.25% × 96)+(9.875% × 96)

P = 96 - 0.3125(96) + 0.09875(96)

P = 96 - 30 + 9.48

P = 75.48

Where,

P stands for the final price.

The first term (96) shows the initial price.

The second term (-30) is about the discount which has to be negative.

The final term (+9.48) is about the sales tax which must be added to have the total price.

Magda wants to compare the population density of the two largest countries in the world. She can use this formula. K=P 2.59 M K = population density (people per km2) P = population (millions) M = land area (million square miles) Canada has a population density of 3.57 people per km2 Russia has • a population of 143.96 million • a land area of 6.593 million square miles. Magda thinks that Russia has a greater population density than Canada. Is Magda correct? Show why you think this.

Answers

Answer:

Magda is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Formula:

[tex]K = \frac{P}{2.59M}[/tex]

Population Density of Canada = 3.57 people per km²

Population of Russia = 143.96 million

Land Mass of Russia = 6.593 million square miles

Required

Which country has a greater population density.

First, the population density of Russia needs to be calculated using the given formula;

[tex]K = \frac{P}{2.59M}[/tex]

Here, P = 143.96 million

M = 6.593 million square miles

Substitute these values in the above formula;

[tex]K = \frac{143.96}{2.59 * 6.593}[/tex]

[tex]K = \frac{143.96}{17.07587}[/tex]

[tex]K = 8.43[/tex] people per square miles

Before we can make any comparison, we have to convert the unit of K to people per square kilometre.

From unit of standard conversion;

1 square miles = 2.58999 square kilometre

Hence;

[tex]K = \frac{8.43}{2.58999}[/tex]

[tex]K = 3.25483882177[/tex]

[tex]K = 3.25[/tex] people per km²

Given that the Population Density of Canada = 3.57 people per km²

And We solved for the Population Density of Russia = 3.25 people per km²

By Comparison, the Population Density of Canada is greater than the Population Density of Russia;

Hence, Magda is incorrect

A company is expanding its building area from 16,500 square feet to 20,460 square feet. What is the percentage increase of the area of the building space?

Answers

Answer: 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

A company is expanding its building area from 16,500 square feet to 20,460 square feet. To calculate the percentage increase in the area of the building space, we first find the difference. This will be:

20,460 - 16,500 = 3960

We then divide the difference by the former building area and then multiply by 100. This will be:

3960/16500 × 100

= 0.24 × 100

= 24%

The percentage increase of the area of the building space is 24%.

A pet store owner, Brooklyn, needs to determine how much food she needs to feed the animals. Brooklyn knows that she needs to order the same amount of bird food as hamster food. She needs four times as much dog food as bird food and needs half the amount of cat food as dog food. If Brooklyn orders 600 packages of animal food, how much dog food does she buy? Let b represent the number of packages of bird food Brooklyn purchased for the pet store.

Answers

Answer:

She ordered 85.7 packages as dog food

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent bird food, d represent dog food and c represent cat food.

The bird food is 4 times as much dog food. This can be represented as b = 4d

Also, the dog food is half the amount of cat food, it can be represented as d = 1/2c. Therefore, c = 2d

The total feed is 600.

Therefore dog feed + cat feed + bird feed = 600

d + 2d + 4d = 600

7d = 600

d = 600/7 = 85,7

She ordered 85.7 packages as dog food.

Matthew is training to participate in a half marathon. Each week, Matthew increases the number of miles he runs in the previous week by the same percent. The table below shows the number of miles he runs in weeks 1 and 2.

Week Number of Miles Run
1 12.5
2 15.5

Complete the sentence. Do not round your answer.
Matthew runs ____ miles in week 3.

Answers

Answer:14.58 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matthew is training to participate in a half marathon.

The distance covered by Matthew on the first day is 12.5 miles.

The distance covered by Matthew on the second day is 13.5 miles.

The distance increased on the second day is, 13.5-12.5=1 mile.

The percentage will be,

=\dfrac{1}{12.5}\times 100\%

=0.08\times 100\%

=8\%

Hence, each day he runs 8% more. So the distance covered by him on day 3 will be,

=13.5+\left(13.5\times \dfrac{8}{100}\right)

=13.5+1.08

=14.58 miles

Basic consensus is that that other answer is wrong. The actual answer is 19.22

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common ratio you just do this, last number = 15.5, and first number = 12.5.

15.5/12.5 equals 1.24.

^That's the common ratio.^

using A(n) = a * r ^ n - 1,

you get 12.5 * 1.24 ^ 3 - 1, or just 12.5 * 1.24 ^ 2

and solving that problem, you get 19.22.

Confirm this by doing the same thing earlier, 19.22/15.5 is 1.24. Which is the ratio found earlier. So it checks out.

A bag contains 15 marbles. The probability of randomly selecting a green marble is One-fifth. The probability of randomly selecting a green marble, replacing it, and then randomly selecting a blue marble is StartFraction 2 over 25 EndFraction. How many blue marbles are in the bag? 2 3 5 6

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are "six" blue marbles in the given bag, which is the correct answer would be an option (D).

What is probability?

Probability is defined as the possibility of an event being equal to the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of outcomes.

Given that bag contains 15 marbles. The probability of randomly selecting a green marble is One-fifth.

The probability of randomly selecting a green marble and then randomly selecting a blue marble is 1/5 x P(blue), where P(blue) is the probability of selecting a blue marble.

As per the question, the probability of this event is 2/25, so we can set up the equation 1/5 x P(blue) = 2/25.

Solving for P(blue), we find that P(blue) = 2/5.

Since the probability of selecting a blue marble is 2/5, and there are 15 marbles in the bag, the number of blue marbles in the bag must be 15 x (2/5) = 6.

Therefore, the number of blue marbles in the bag must be 6.

(6x+4y=43)( 2x-3y=23)

Answers

Answer:

(8.5, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

6x + 4y = 43 → (1)

2x - 3y = 23 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the term in x

- 6x + 9y = - 69 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x, that is

13y = - 26 ( divide both sides by 13 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 in either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

6x + 4(- 2) = 43

6x - 8 = 43 ( add 8 to both sides )

6x = 51 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 8.5

Solution is (8.5, - 2 )

Nicole runs 6 miles in 55 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 44 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

4.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a proportion using this setup:

miles/minutes=miles/minutes

We know that Nicole runs 6 miles in 55 minutes. We don't know how many miles she runs in 44 minutes, so we can say she runs x miles in 44 minutes.

6 miles/55 minutes=x miles/44 minutes

6/55=x/44

Now, we have to find x. To do this, we need to get x by itself. x is being divided by 44. To undo this, multiply both sides by 44, since multiplication is the opposite of division.

44*(6/55)=(x/44)*44

The 44s on the right cancel, so we are left with:

44*6/55=x

4.8=x

Nicole can run 4.8 miles in 44 minutes
