$\\ \sf\longmapsto tan40=\dfrac{P}{430}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.83=\dfrac{P}{430}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P=430(0.83)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P\approx361m$

P=Height of tower

Answer:

$\displaystyle 361\:m.$

Step-by-step explanation:

You would set your proportion up as so:

$\displaystyle \frac{430}{h} = cot\:40° → 430 = hcot\: 40° → \frac{430}{cot\: 40°} = h → 360,8128414... = h \\ \\ 361 ≈ h$

So, the height of the clock tower is <em>approximately</em><em> </em>361 metres.

On a recent road trip, Mr. Yost drove 210 miles in 3 1/2 hours. Find both the miles driven per hour and the hours driven per mil

amid [387]

Miles driven per hour is 60 miles per hour

Hours driven per mile is 0.01667 hours per mile

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

On a recent road trip, Mr. Yost drove 210 miles in 3 1/2 hours

Therefore,

Miles driven = 210 miles

$Time\ taken = 3\frac{1}{2}\ hour = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5\ hour$

To find: miles driven per hour and the hours driven per mile

<h3><u>Miles driven per hour</u></h3>

$\frac{miles}{hour} = \frac{210}{3.5}\\\\\frac{miles}{hour} = 60\ miles\ per\ hour$

<h3><u>Hours driven per mile</u></h3>

$\frac{hours}{miles} = \frac{3.5}{210}\\\\\frac{hours}{miles} = 0.01667\ hours\ per\ miles$

Thus both the miles driven per hour and the hours driven per mile are found
