From a horizontal distance of 80 m, the angle of elevation to the top of a flagpole is 18 degree. Calculate the height of the flagpole to the nearest whole meter.

26m

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the opposite side (height of the flagpole) is to be determined given the angle and the value of the adjacent side(horizontal distance )

We would use tan 18 to determine the value of the missing side

tan 18 = opposite / adjacent

0.3249 = opposite / 80

0.3249 x 80 = 26m

please find attached a graphical interpretation of this question

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
