Answer:

≈ 27 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

using the tangent ratio in the right triangle formed by the building and the ground.

tan15° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{?}{100}$ ( multiply both sides by 100 )

100 × tan15° = ? , then

? ≈ 27 ft ( to the nearest whole number )

skad [1K]

Answer:

RT-ST=QS-ST, because subtracting the same quantity from two lines that have been stated to be equal.

Therefore RS=TQ

Angle R=Angle Q, because it is an isosceles triangle

Triangle AR

S is congruent to ATQ.

AT=AS

Because TAS is isosceles, angles 5 and 6 are equal.

Therefore, angles 4 and 7 are equal, because they are supplementary angles of the same angle.

And angles 1 and 3 are equal, because the other two angles in the triangle are equal.

The triangles RAT and QAS are congruent with SAS.

A rug is shaped like a parallelogram with a base of 41⁄2 ft. and a height of 2 1⁄4 ft. What is the area of the rug? Draw and lab

Bess [88]

Answer:

46.125 square feet or $46\dfrac{1}{8}$ sq. feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rug is shaped like a parallelogram with a base of $\frac{41}{2} = 20.5$ feet. and a height of $2\dfrac{1}{4} = 2.25$ feet.

Now, the area of a parallelogram is given by the product of one side as the base and the perpendicular distance of that side from the opposite parallel side as height.

Now, the area of the given parallelogram is (20.5 × 2.25) = 46.125 square feet. (Answer)
