Answer: 89 meters


Step-by-step explanation:


Similar triangles have sides in proportion.


All sides of the tower's triangle are 48.25/1.74 times as long as the pole's triangle.


The tower is 3.2 × 48.25 / 1.74 = 88.7356321 m

Answer is 89 meters.

Based on the diagram shown, find θ to the nearest degree.
sattari [20]

Answer:

  θ = 38°

Step-by-step explanation:

The lower right triangle is congruent to the upper left triangle, so we have θ and 20° being the two acute angles in the triangle. The law of sines tells you ...

  sin(θ)/9 = sin(20°)/5

  sin(θ) = (9/5)sin(20°)

  θ = arcsin(9/5·sin(20°)) ≈ 38°

___

Another solution to the triangle is θ = 180° -38° = 142°. The diagram clearly shows θ as an acute angle, so we take this second solution to be extraneous.

Draw and label a rectangular prism that has a surface area of 96 square meters.
Mashcka [7]
Basically what you need to do is draw 4 congruent rectangles and 2 comgriemt squares (The six sides of a rectangular prism). The sum of the area of these six quadrilaterals should equal 96. This would be my thought process.

Step 1: Sketch a Rectangular Prism

Step 2: Make some educated guesses on some possible side measurements for the quadrilaterals that form the prism.

Step 3: Guess and Check until the amount equals 96.

So we can guess that the sides of the rectangle might equal 2 and 3 units.

This would be 6 for the area. Times 4 for each of the 4 Rectangles. (24) and add the area of the ends of the prism (2*2*2) which is 8 and you will get 32.

Since we are looking for a surface area of 96 and not 32, we can assume that a 3*2*2 prism is not what we need. So we can try again with other values.

Let's try 6*3*3. 6*3*4 for the four rectangles plus 3*3*2 for the ends.
