The angle of depression of a rabbit from the top
of a cliff is 24°. After the rabbit hops a distance
of 80 m horizontally towards the base of the cliff,
the angle of depression of the rabbit from the
top of the cliff becomes 32°. Find the height of
the cliff.
Answers
The angle of depression is the angle formed with the horizontal, when an object is viewed below the horizontal level. Thus, the height of the cliff is approximately 123.86 m.
Let the height of the cliff be represented by h, so that:
From the triangle 1, we have:
tan [tex]32^{o}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{h}{x}[/tex]
⇒ h = tan [tex]32^{o}[/tex]*x
h = x tan [tex]32^{o}[/tex] ............. 1
Also, from the bigger triangle, we have:
tan [tex]24^{o}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{h}{80 + x}[/tex]
⇒ h = tan [tex]24^{o}[/tex] (80 + x) ......... 2
Now equating the expressions for h in equations 1 and 2, we have:
x tan [tex]32^{o}[/tex] = tan [tex]24^{o}[/tex] (80 + x)
0.6249x = 0.4452 (80 + x)
= 35.616 + 0.4452x
0.6249x - 0.4452x = 35.616
0.1797 x = 35.616
x = [tex]\frac{35.616}{0.1797}[/tex]
x = 198.2 m
Substitute the value of x in equation 1;
h = x tan [tex]32^{o}[/tex]
= 198.2 * 0.6249
= 123.8552
h = 123.86 m
Therefore, the height of the cliff is approximately 123.86 m.

$61.60 for parts and labor rate is $30.00 per hour total cost 136.60 how many hours will the job take? Write an equation and explain how you used it to find the number of hours the job will take.
Answers
Answer:
(136.60 - 61.60) / 30 = 2.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
First, subtract the cost of parts from the total: 136.60 - 61.60 = 75
Now you have the total labor cost. Divide by the hourly rate: 75 / 30 = 2.5

Write an equation of the parabola that passes through the point (62,-490) and has x-intercepts -8 and 72

as x intercepts are -8 and 72 we realize that f(x)=a(x+8)(x-72)
we know that f(62)=-490 so a= -0.7

An Apple Watch was marked down 1/9 of the original price. If the sales price was $224 what is the original price?
Answers
Answer:
ok so that means that the new price is 8/9th of the original one so we divide 224 by 8/9=252
Hope This Helps!!!
Marked down 1/9 means it sold for 8/9 of the original price.
Divide the sale price by 8/9:
224 / 8/9 = 224 x 9/8 = (224 x 9)/8 = 2016/8 = 252
The original price was $252

Two architects bid for a small government project, both

Designs bids $250 plus $45 per hour, while Super Structures
bids $100 plus $60 per hour. At what point in time will the
two companies charge exactly the same amount?
Answers
Answer:
10 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the total number of hours
Amazing design total charge = 45x+250
super structures total charge = 60x+100
both companies charge the same amount when both equation equals
45x+250=60x+100
60x-45x=250-100
15x=150
x=10
therefore at 10 hours both companies will charge the same amount
