You stand 50 feet from a monument. The angle of depression from the top of the monument to your feet is 64 degrees. Approximately how tall is the monument

The monument is approximately 86.6 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

The given monument parameters are;

The distance of the person from the monument = 50 feet

The angle of depression from the top of the monument to the person's feet = 64°

Given that the angle of elevation to the top of the monument from the person's feet = The angle of depression from the top of the monument to the person's feet, we have;

tan(Angle of depression) = tan(Angle of elevation) = (The height of the monument)/(The distance from the monument)

∴ The height of the monument = tan(Angle of depression) × The distance from the monument

Substituting the known values, gives;

The height of the monument = tan(60°) × 50 ≈ 86.6

The height of the monument ≈ 86.6 feet.

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
