Draw a triangle with shortest side on the ground (horiz.).  The length of this side is 80 feet.  Two angles touch the ground:  a right angle, and the 70 degree angle.
 
Then the height of the building is the 2nd shortest side.

The tangent function is the appropriate one to use here:
                       opp          h
tan 70 deg = -------- = ----------
                        adj        80 ft
                                                                h
Since tan 70 deg  = 2.75,          2.75 = -------
                                                              80 ft

so h = building height = (80 ft)(2.75) = 219.8 ft

Factor the following:x^4 + 4 x^3 + 6 x^2 + 4 x + 1
The coefficients match the 5^th row of Pascal's triangle, so x^4 + 4 x^3 + 6 x^2 + 4 x + 1 = (x + 1)^4:Answer: (x + 1)^4

Jan drew a triangle with angle measures that are 125° and 15°. What must the last degree measure be?
timurjin [86]
There is 180 degrees in a triangle, add 125 and 15 and you’ve got 140 that means there is 40 degrees left so the answer must be 40 degrees.
