From a window 20 feet above the ground, the angle of elevation to the top of a building across

Answer: The answer is 381.85 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a window is 20 feet above the ground. From there, the angle of elevation to the top of a building across  the street is 78°, and the angle of depression to the base of the same building is 15°. We are to calculate the height of the building across the street.

This situation is framed very nicely in the attached figure, where

BG = 20 feet, ∠AWB = 78°, ∠WAB = WBG = 15° and AH = height of the bulding across the street = ?

From the right-angled triangle WGB, we have

\dfrac{WG}{WB}=\tan 15^\circ\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{20}{b}=\tan 15^\circ\\\\\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{20}{\tan 15^\circ},

and from the right-angled triangle WAB, we have'

\dfrac{AB}{WB}=\tan 78^\circ\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{h}{b}=\tan 15^\circ\\\\\\\Rightarrow h=\tan 78^\circ\times\dfrac{20}{\tan 15^\circ}\\\\\\\Rightarrow h=361.85.

Therefore, AH = AB + BH = h + GB = 361.85+20 = 381.85 feet.

Thus, the height of the building across the street is 381.85 feet.

A 40-foot ladder is leaning against a building and forms a 29.32° angle with the ground. how far away from the building is the b
zaharov [31]

The distance between the building and the ladder is 34.876 foot.

<h3>What is a Right Triangle?</h3>

A triangle in which one of the angle measure is equal to 90 degree is called a right triangle.

The ladder forms a right triangle with the building and the ground,

The length of the triangle is 40 foot

The angle made by the ladder is 29.32 degree

By using Trigonometric Ratios

cos 29.32 = Base /  Hypotenuse

cos 29.32 = Base / 40

0.8718 × 40 = Base

Base = 34.876 foot

Base is the distance between the building and the ladder.

Base of the ladder = 34.876 foot

Find the area of the polygon.
svetlana [45]
This is a trapezoid and the trapezoid formula is b1 plus b2/ 2 times height. 

17 plus 5 is 22. Divided by 2 is 11. 

Now, we have to multiply 11 by the height : 5. 

11 times 5 is 55 and that is your area. 55 units squared.

Felicia is buying a Crockpot that retails for $125. She has a coupon for $40 off of any item over $100. Calculate her percent sa
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

32%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cost of Crockpot = $125

Coupon = $40

Coupon applies on items greater than $100

Required

Percent saved if coupon is applied.

If she applies coupon on the Crockpot, then she'll be saving $40.

Percent Savings = Amount Saved / Total Amount

Percent Savings = $40/$125

Percent Savings = 0.32

Convert to Percentage

Percent Savings = 0.32 * 100%

Percent Savings = 32%.

Hence, she'd save 32% if she applies the coupon of $40 on the Crockpot
