Jill is standing at the base of her apartment building. She measures the angle of elevation to the top of a nearby tower to be 4

0º. Then Jill goes to the roof of her apartment building, directly above her previous position, and measures the angle of elevation to the top of the same tower to be 30°. If the height of the tower is 100 meters, the height of Jill's apartment building is meters.

Answer:

1) From the measure of 40°, you can write:

tan(40°) = 100/x, where x is the base from the building to the tower

⇒x=100/tan(40°) = 119,18 m

2) From the measure of 30°, you can write

tan(30°) = y / 119,18, where y is the height from the roof of Jill's building to the top of the tower.

Then, y = tan(30°) * 119,18 = 68,81 m

3) The height of Jill's building is 100 - 68,81 = 31,19 m

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Volume=355 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume it should be 10 cm, not 10 m.  If it is 10 m, everything will have to be adjusted.

Circumference = 2\pir

10=2\pir

10÷2\pi=r

1.59=r

V=\pir²h

V=\pi(1.59)(71)

v=355

Answer:

True, True, False, True, False, True

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>CDs have a higher mean than digital</u>

<u />

Let's check.  CD mean is (1000 + 800 + 800 + 600 + 400 + 200)/6 = 633.33

Digital mean: (100 + 300 + 300 + 500 + 700 + 900)/6 = 466.67

CD's mean is higher.  Since you are dividing byt he same number you also could have just added the amount and found which was a larger number.  But yes, this is true.

<u>The range of digital is 800</u>

<u />

The range is the highest number inus the lowest number.  For digital the highest is 900 and lowest is 100 so the ange is 900-100 = 800.  So this is true.

<u>The median of CDs is 400. </u>

<u />

The median is the middle value for odd numbers of values, or the average of the two middle values.  6 total values means you have to take the third and fourth and average them.  in CDs the middle values are 800 and 600, the average is 700, so that is what the median is.  this is false.

<u>Both have the same interquartile range. </u>

<u />

Interquartile range is to find the middle number or numbers like in median, then take the two parts it is split into and find the "median" of those.  Then subtract the larger one fromt he smaller one.

IQR of CD the first half is 200, 400, 600 so the middle here is 400, second half has a middle number of 800 so IQR here is 800-400=400

IQR of digital is 700-300 = 400 so yes both are the same.

<u>Both have the same median</u>

<u />

We know the medan of CDs is 700 then findign the median of digital is (300+500)/2 = 400.  So no, the medians are not the same.

<u>Digital’s mean is around 467. </u>

<u />

We founf the mean for digital to be 466.67 which rounds up to 467, So I would say it is true.

points P and Q lie 240 m apart in line with and on opposite sides of a communications tower. the angles of elevation to the top
Leona [35]

Answer:

The height of the tower is 130.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we are given the following values:

The angles of elevation to the top of the tower from P = 50°

The angles of elevation to the top of the tower from Q = 45°

The angles of elevation to the top of the tower from P = 50°

Hence,cot P = 1/ tan(50°)

The angles of elevation to the top of the tower from Q = 45°

Hence, tan 45° = 1

In the question,we are told Points P and Q lie 240 m apart in line with and on opposite sides of a communications tower.

Therefore,

PQ = height of the tower( tan Q + 1/tan P)

240m = height of the tower( tan 45° + 1/ tan 50°)

240m = h(1 + 1/tan 50°)

h = (240 m)/(1 + 1/tan (50°))

h = 130.49863962 meters

Therefore, the height of the tower to the nearest tenth of a meter is 130.5 meters(m)
