A man is standing near the Washington Monument. At a 60° angle of elevation from the ground, the man sees the top of the 555-foo

t monument. Which measurements are accurate based on the scenario? Check all that apply. The distance from the man’s feet to the base of the monument is feet. The distance from the man’s feet to the top of the monument is feet. The distance from the man’s feet to the top of the monument is 1,110 feet. The distance from the man’s feet to the base of the monument is 277.5 feet. The segment representing the monument’s height is the longest segment in the triangle.

I have tried solving the problem, and none of the values in the choices matched with mine.

Illustrating the problem, it shows a right triangle, one angle is 60° with the opposite vertical side measuring 555 ft which is the height of the monument. Using the pythagorean theorem, the distance between the man's feet to the top of the monument being the hypotenuse (longest side), the hypotenuse would be 640.86 ft and the distance from the man's feet to the monument's base is 320.43 ft.

sin 60 = 555/hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 640.86 ft

tan 60 = 555/base
base = 320.43 ft

An ant has a mass of 0.005 gram. A grasshopper has a mass 0.5 gram..How many ants would it take to equal the mass of 1 grasshopp
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Just divide the larger mass by the smaller.

0.5 / 0.005 = 0.5 / 0.5 * 10^-2 = 1 * 10^2 = 100

It take 100 ants to equal the mass of a grasshopper.

.580 80 repeating as fraction
denis-greek [22]
First off, we'll move the non-repeating part in the decimal to the left-side, by doing a division by a power of 10.

then we'll equate the value to some variable, and move the repeating part over to the left as well.

anyhow, the idea being, we can just use that variable, say "x" for the repeating bit, let's proceed,

\bf 0.580\overline{80}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{5.80\overline{80}}{10}}\qquad \textit{now, let's say }x= 5.80\overline{80}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf thus\qquad \begin{array}{llll}
100\cdot x&=&580.80\overline{80}\\
&&575+5.80\overline{80}\\
&&575+x
\end{array}\qquad \implies 100x=575+x
\\\\\\
99x=575\implies x=\cfrac{575}{99}\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{\cfrac{5.80\overline{80}}{10}}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{575}{99}\quad }{10}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\quad \frac{575}{99}\quad }{\frac{10}{1}}\implies \cfrac{575}{99}\cdot \cfrac{1}{10}\implies \cfrac{575}{990}\implies \stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{115}{198}}

and you can check that in your calculator.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

A.) NM= x

C.) LM = x√2

E.) tan (45°) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If the legs are both x, then the hypotenuse is equal to x\sqrt{2

Therefore, LM= x\sqrt{2 is correct and MN= x

C. The graph
The equation y=8x should have a slope of 8. This means that it should go up 8 spaces, every time it moves over by 1. but if you look at the graph you’ll see the slope is 1/8 because it goes up 1 space after moving over 8. If the graph were correct, the x and y values would be swapped.
