The leaning tower of niles is 94 feet high and makes an angle of 85.5 degrees from the ground to the top of the tower. if you drop keys from the top of the tower how far from the base of the tower would they land?

Distance of the keys on ground from the base of the tower = 7.38 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of tower = 94 ft

Tower is leaning and makes an angle of 85.5 degrees from the ground.

Keys are dropped from the top of the tower.

To find the distance of the keys on ground from the base of the tower.

From the data given to us we can construct a right triangle ABC.

For the Δ ABC

AB= 94 ft

∠A= 85.5°

We can apply trigonometric ratio to find side BC which is  the distance of the keys on ground from the base of the tower.

Using cosine ratio:

In Δ ABC

Multiplying both sides by AB.

Substituting value of AB and cos 85.5°

∴

Distance of the keys on ground from the base of the tower = 7.38 ft

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is

to determine the unit cost your would divide the total cost by the number sold.
