Answer:

The bird is at a height of 1.95 km from the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the distance between susan and mark is 7 km and bird is between  susan and mark. The angles of elevation they make are 20º and 50º, respectively.

Draw a perpendicular line from the bird on base.

Let the distance of susan from and the altitude be x.

In triangle ABS,

tan(20^{\circ})=\frac{AB}{x}

tan(20^{\circ})x=AB

0.364x=AB       ..... (1)

In triangle ABM,

tan(50^{\circ})=\frac{AB}{7-x}

1.192(7-x)=AB     ..... (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

0.364x=1.192(7-x)

1.556x=8342

x=5.36

The length of AB is,

AB=0.364(5.36)=1.95147\approx 1.95

Therefore, the he bird is at a height of 1.95 km from the ground.

Kendal bought x boxes of cookies to bring to a party. Each box contains 12 cookies. She decides to keep two boxes for herself. S
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.

Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be

12 × x = 12x

She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be

12 × 2 = 24 cookies

She brings 60 cookies to the party.

The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be

12x = 24 + 60

12x = 84

x = 84/12 = 7 boxes
