A flag staff is fixed at one corner of a rectangular room of side 20×10m. The angle of elevation on the top of the flag from opposite corner of the room is found 30.Find the height is flag staff.

The height is 12.9m

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the distance from the corner of the flag to the opposite corner, for this we will use Pythagoras

In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides

h² = s1² + s2²

h² = 10² + 20²

h² = 100 + 400

h² = 500

h = √500

h = 22.36

Now that we know this measurement we can calculate the height of the flagpole

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse

α = 30

a: adjacent  = 22.36

o: opposite  = ?

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

is the tangent

tan α = o/a

tan 30 = o/22.36

tan30 * 22.36 = o

12.9 = o

The height is 12.9m

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
