If the tower is 45 feet in height, how far is the partner from the base of the tower, to the nearest tenth of a foot?

distance of his partner from the base of the tower ≈ 53.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The forest ranger is on top of a fire tower and he sees his partner on the ground at the angle of depression of 40°. The tower is 45 ft tall.  

The illustration forms a right angle triangle.

The adjacent side of the triangle is the distance from the partner to the base of the tower.

Using tangential ratio

tan 40° = opposite/adjacent

tan 40° = 45/adjacent

cross multiply

adjacent tan 40° = 45

divide both sides by tan 40°

adjacent =45/tan 40°

adjacent = 45/0.83909963117

adjacent = 53.6289116667

step-by-step explanation:

she will sew have sewn five dresses   and be 1/3 done with the sixth one in an hour.

step-by-step explanation:

3/4 of an hour=45 mins

lucy makes 1 dress per 11.25 minutes

45 mins+11.25 mins=56.25 mins

60 mins- 56.25 mins=3.75 mins

3.75 mins is 1/3 of of 11.25 mins

therefore she the other 1/3 would be part of the hour and she will have sewn 5 dresses and begun the sixth.
