Final Answer:
The height of the shorter cliff is 70 feet and the height of the taller cliff is 118 feet.
Explanation:
To find the height of each cliff, we will use trigonometry. Specifically, we will use the tangent function, which is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side of a right-angled triangle.
First, let's consider the shorter cliff (point A). We know the angle of depression from A to the bottom of the river is 38 degrees. If we imagine a horizontal line at the height of point A, we can create a right-angled triangle with one angle at the bottom of the river, the vertical side as the height of the cliff, the horizontal side as the width of the river, and the angle of depression at point A.
Using the tangent of the angle of depression, we can set up the following equation to find the height of the shorter cliff (which we will call hA):
tan(38 degrees) = height_shorter_cliff / width_river
Solving for the height of the shorter cliff, we get:
height_shorter_cliff = width_river * tan(38 degrees)
Using a calculator or trigonometry tables, we find that the height of the shorter cliff is approximately 70 feet.
Next, let's consider the taller cliff (point B). The angle of elevation from A to B is given as 28 degrees. Now we can imagine another right-angled triangle, this time with one angle at point A, the vertical side as the difference in height between cliffs A and B, the horizontal side as the width of the river, and the angle of elevation at point A.
Using the tangent of the angle of elevation, we can set up an equation to find the height difference between cliffs A and B (which we will call hB - hA):
tan(28 degrees) = (height_taller_cliff - height_shorter_cliff) / width_river
We can rearrange this to solve for the height of the taller cliff:
height_taller_cliff = width_river * tan(28 degrees) + height_shorter_cliff
Now, using our previous result for the height of the shorter cliff (70 feet), we plug it into our equation:
height_taller_cliff = 90 * tan(28 degrees) + 70
Using a calculator or trigonometry tables to evaluate tan(28 degrees), we find that the height of the taller cliff is approximately 118 feet.
Therefore, to the nearest foot, the height of the shorter cliff is 70 feet and the height of the taller cliff is 118 feet.
A triangular playground has angles with measures in ratio 8: 3: 9 what is the measure of the smallest angle
Answer:
The measure of the smallest angle is 27°
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle has angles with measure ratio 8:3:9, so the sizes of the angles are going to change depends on the ratio.
Let’s name the common value as “α”.
Basing on the angle-sum property, we already know that the sum of the angle in a triangle is 180°.
The measure of each one are:
8α, 3α, 9α
The sum of these is 180°.
Then,
8α + 3α + 9α = 180°
Let’s sum similar values:
20α =180°
α= 180°/20
α= 9
Replacing values, we going to find the measure of each angle:
8(9) = 72°
3(9) = 27°
9(9) = 81°
The measure of the smallest angle is 27°

Identify the GCF of 10x4y3 − 5x3y2 + 20x2y.
10x2y
10x3y
5x2
5x2y
The GCF of the given expression is:
[tex]5x^2y[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:The GCF ( greatest common factor ) is the greatest divisor which divides all the terms completely.
Here we have the expression as:
[tex]10x^4y^3-5x^3y^2+20x^2y[/tex]
Here we see that the factors of the first term are:
[tex]10x^4y^3=2\times 5\times x\times x\times x\times x\times y\times y\times y[/tex]
The factor of the second term is:
[tex]-5x^3y^2=-1\times 5\times x\times x\times x\times y\times y[/tex]
and the factor of the third term is:
[tex]20x^2y=2\times 2\times 5\times x\times x\times y[/tex]
i.e. the factor which is common to all the three terms are:
[tex]5\times x\times x\times y=5x^2y[/tex]
Hence, the GCF is: [tex]5x^2y[/tex]

During a basketball game, the East Middle School Tigers scored 42 points from two-point baskets. How many two-point baskets did they make?
84
14
21
42
Answer:
21 two point basket.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that During a basketball game, the East Middle School Tigers scored 42 points from two-point baskets. It means
Total score = 42 points
Score for each basket = 2 point
Let total number of two-point baskets be x. So,
Total score = 2x points.
[tex]2x=42[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2.
[tex]\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{42}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=21[/tex]
Hence, they make 21 two point basket.

you owe $1,945.61 on a credit card that has an 11.2% APR. the minimum payment due is $156.00. you decide to pay $300.00. how much do you save in interest by paying more than the minimum, assuming you make both payments at the beginning of the month?
$,
Answer:
$1.344
Step-by-step explanation:
APR represents annual percentage rate, and it specifies the amount of interest that would accrue on a loan over a specified period.
Extra amount paid = $300 - $156 = $144
Annual interest that would have been paid on the extra $144 = $144 * 11.2/100= $16.128
this amount on monthly basis is $16.128/12 = $1.344

n quadrilateral LMNO, LO ∥ MN. What additional information would be sufficient, along with the given, to conclude that LMNO is a parallelogram? Check all that apply. ML ∥ NO ML ⊥ LO LO ≅ MN ML ≅ LO MN ⊥ NO
Answer: The correct options are
(A) ML ∥ NO,
(C) LO ≅ MN.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that in quadrilateral LMNO, LO ∥ MN.
We are to select the correct additional information that would be sufficient along with the given information to conclude that LMNO is a parallelogram.
PARALLELOGRAM: A parallelogram is a quadrilateral if ine of the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) Two pairs of opposite sides parallel
or
(ii) one pair of opposite sides parallel and congruent.
The given condition is
LO ∥ MN.
So, the other additional sufficient condition will be
either the other pair of opposite sides parallel, i.e., ML ∥ NO,
or
the same pair of parallel sides are congruent, i.e, LO ≅ MN.
Thus, the correct statements are ML ∥ NO and LO ≅ MN.
Option (A) and (C) are correct.

What happens to the surface area of a rectangular prism when each of the dimensions is doubled? (1 point) i?
Final answer:
The surface area of a rectangular prism increases by four times when each of the dimensions is doubled because surface area scales in proportion to the square of the linear dimensions.
Explanation:
When the dimensions of a rectangular prism are doubled, the surface area of the prism increases by a factor of four. This is because the surface area is proportional to the square of the linear dimensions. If the length, width, and height of the prism are doubled, the new surface area (A') compared to the original surface area (A) is calculated as follows:
A' = 2l × 2w + 2l × 2h + 2w × 2h
A' = 4(lw + lh + wh)
A' = 4A
Thus, if each dimension is doubled, the surface area increases by four times.

A family on vacation drives 123 miles in 2 hours, then gets stuck in traffic and goes 4 miles in the next 15 minutes . The remaining 191 miles of the trip take 3 3/4 hours. What was their average rate of speed to the nearest tenth of a mile per hour ?
The average speed of an object is the total distance traveled by the object divided by the elapsed time to cover that distance.
Total distance traveled = 123 miles + 4 miles + 191 miles = 318 miles
Total time taken = 2 hours + 15 minutes + [tex] 3\frac{3}{4} [/tex] hours
= 2 hours + [tex] \frac{15}{60} [/tex] hour + [tex] \frac{15}{4} [/tex] hours
= [tex] 2+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{15}{4} [/tex] hours
=[tex] 2+\frac{16}{4} [/tex] hours
= 6 hours
Average speed = Total distance [tex] \div [/tex] Total time
= [tex] \frac{318}{6} [/tex] mile per hour
= 53 mile per hour.
