Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Chapter 3.1, Problem 11E

Reminder Round all answers to two decimals places unless otherwise indicated.

A Topographical Map In making a topographical map, it is not practical to measure the heights of structures such as mountains directly. This exercise illustrates how some such measurements are taken. A surveyor whose eye is 6 feet above the ground views a mountain peak that is 2 horizontal miles distant. (See Figure 3.15 on the next page.) Directly in his line of sight is the top of a surveying pole that is 10 horizontal feet distant and 8 feet high. How tall is the mountain peak? (Note: One mile is 5280 feet.)
