Hello!
To be perpendicular to x = 4, the line must be y = something. This eliminates answer choices #2 and #4. Also, to pass through the point (.5, 7), the line must be y = 7.
So answer choice #3.
Hope this helps!! Let me know if you have ANY questions.
Answer:
279 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
To find x, we solve using the Trigonometric function of Tangent
tan θ = Opposite/ Adjacent
θ = 64°
Length of the shadow = Adjacent = 136 feet
Height of the building = Opposite = h
Hence,
tan 64 = h/136 feet
Cross Multiply
h = tan 64 × 136 feet
h = 278.84132245 feet
Approximately, h to the nearest foot ≈ 279 feet
Therefore, the height of the building = 279 feet
