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.

276 guests
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of guests be n. We are to find the value of n.
Then (1/3)n + (5/12)n + 69 = n, or
(9/12)n + 69 = n or (12/12)n
Solving for n, we get (3/12)n = 69, or (1/12)n = 23, or n = 12(23) = 276

Can someone please help solving for x
Answers
Answer:
x=6.7
Step-by-step explanation:
In relation to the given angle, we are given the triangle's opposite side and hypotenuse. Therefore, we use the sine function to set up a proportion and solve for x:
[tex]sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]
[tex]sin(31^\circ)=\frac{x}{13}[/tex]
[tex]13sin(31^\circ)=x[/tex]
[tex]x=13sin(31^\circ)[/tex]
[tex]x\approx6.7[/tex]
So, the opposite side is about 6.7 inches

Answers
2 eggs/ 12 muffins = x eggs/ 36 muffins
They will have to be proportional
2/12 = x/36
12 * 3 = 36
2 * 3 = 6 eggs
You will need 6 eggs
Answer:
6 eggs
Step-by-step explanation:
since recipe states that to make 12 muffins you need 2 muffins
2. = 12
represent the unknown with x
2. = 12
x. = 36
Then you'll cross multiply
36 × 2 = 72
12x = 72
x = 72 ÷ 12

In total there are 53,444 adults at a football match there are 4300 more women then men at the match how many men are at the match
Answers
Answer:
There are 24,572 men.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let men = m, let women = w.
m + w = 53,444
w = 4300 + m
m + (4300 + m) = 53,444
m + m + 4300 = 53,444
2m + 4300 = 53,444
2m = 53,444 - 4300
2m = 49144
m = 49144/2
m = 24,572
A. Complete the table if y varies
directly as x or x2
B. Complete the table if y varies inversely as x.
Answers
Direct variation is represented by the equation y = k × x and inverse variation is represented by y = k/x
Table 1:
y = k × x
30 = k × 5
30 = 5k
k = 30/5
k = 6
So,
y = 30
y = 30 k = 6
y = 30 k = 6x = 5
y = 30 k = 6x = 5Equation: y = 6x
y = k × x
y = 10 × 8
y = 80
So,
y = 80
y = 80 k = 10
y = 80 k = 10x = 8
y = 80 k = 10x = 8Equation: y = 10x
y = 3x
18 = 3x
x = 18/3
x = 6
So,
y = 18
y = 18k = 3
y = 18k = 3x = 6
y = 18k = 3x = 6Equation: y = 3x
y = 2x²
72 = 2x²
x² = 72/2
x² = 36
x = √36
x = 6
So,
y = 72
y = 72k = 2
y = 72k = 2x = 6
y = 72k = 2x = 6Equation: y = 2x²
Table 2:
y = k/x
5 = k/6
5 × 6 = k
30 = k
So,
y = 5
y = 5k = 30
y = 5k = 30x = 6
y = 5k = 30x = 6Equation: y = 30/x
y = k/x
y = 36/4
y = 9
So,
y = 9
y = 9k = 36
y = 9k = 36x = 4
y = 9k = 36x = 4Equation: y = 36/x
y = 60/x
20 = 60/x
20x = 60
x = 60/20
x = 3
So,
y = 20
y = 20k = 60
y = 20k = 60x = 3
y = 20k = 60x = 3Equation: y = 60/x
y = 24/x
y = 24/12
y = 2
So,
y = 2
y = 2k = 24
y = 2k = 24x = 12
y = 2k = 24x = 12Equation: y = 24/x
