First one is 12^2
second one is 1
Answer:
180 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
For similar figures the ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions.
We take "tripled in size" to mean that the linear dimensions of the larger rectangle are 3 times those of the smaller rectangle. That means the area of the larger rectangle will be 3² = 9 times the area of the smaller one.
Area = (3²)(20 cm²) = 180 cm² . . . . area after tripled in size

Answer:
Height of second tower = 17.32m
Step-by-step explanation:
I have attached a diagram depicting the question.
From the diagram, The first tower is depicted by side AEB and the second tower CD.
While d is the distance that separates the two towers and it's given as 15m.
Now, since the angle of depression of the second tower’s base is 60°, then for triangle BAC. Angle C = 60°.
Thus; using trigonometric ratios;
tan 60° = AB/AC.
This gives; AB = d*tan 60°
Similarly, for the triangle BED, BE = d*tan 30°
Since, AE = CD, thus ;
CD = AB − BE
CD = d (tan 60° − tan 30°)
CD = 15(1.7321 − 0.5774)
CD = 15 × 1.1547
CD ≈ 17.32 m.
So, height of second tower = 17.32 m
