Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
when solving and equation with a variable, you must work backwards and do the opposite of the equation
sooo… you must subtract 4 (opposite of +4 is -4)
x=12
A person whose eye level is 1.5 meters above the ground is standing 75 meters from the base of the jin mao building in shanghai,
china. the person estimates the angle of elevation to the top of the building is about 80º. what is the approximate height of the building
1 answer:
See the picture in the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
in the right triangle ABC
tan 80°=opposite side angle 80°/adjacent side angle 80°
tan 80°=BC/AC----->BC=AC*tan 80°-----> BC=75*tan 80°---> BC=425.35 m
the approximate height of the building=BC+<span>eye level
</span>the approximate height of the building=425.35+1.5----> 426.85 m
the answer is
the approximate height of the building is 426.85 m
