Answer:

45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the width of the model, we need to find the scale of the model to the actual tower.

Since we know the height of both towers, we can use that as the basis.

24 inches : 60 feet

12 inches : 30 feet

6 inches : 15 feet

So the width of the tower is 18 inches wide.

18 inches will then be equal to 12 + 7 inches : 30 + 15 feet

18 inches : 45 feet

$50\times\frac{26}{100}\\\\=\frac{50\times26}{100}\\\\=\frac{1300}{100}\\\\=13\\\\50-13={\boxed{ \bf 37}}$

50 points decreased by 26% is 37 points.

$50\times\frac{26}{100}\\\\= 50 \times 0.26\\\\=13\\\\ 50-13={\boxed{ \bf 37}}$

50 points decreased by 26% is 37 points.

Law of cosines: a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A) What is the measure of S to the nearest whole degree? 19° 26° 30° 33°

sertanlavr [38]

We know that
applying the law of cosines
a² = b²+ c²<span> – 2*b*c*cos(A)
cos (A)=[b</span>²+c²-a²]/[2*b*c]
in this problem
a=10
b=17
c=18
so
cos (A)=[17²+18²-10²]/[2*17*18]-----> cos (A)=0.8382
A=arc cos (0.8382)-----> A=33.05°-----> A=33°

the answer is
33 degrees
