Answer:

34.64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from the building = 20 ft

Angle of inclination = π/3 radians

The tangent of the angle of inclination must equal the height of the building divided by the distance of the observer from the building:

tan( \pi/3) = \frac{h}{20} \\h = 20*1.73205\\h=34.64\ ft

The building is 34.64 ft tall

Answer:

3.5% of 20, (0.035)*20, and 7% of 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting the mixed number (3 1/2) to a decimal yields 3.5, so 3.5% of 20 is correct.

3 1/2 is not equal to 3 1/2%, so 3 1/2 * 20 is not correct.

Converting the percentage to a decimal yields .035 which makes .35 too large, so (0.35) * 20 is not correct.

Changing the percentage to a decimal yields .035, so (0.035) * 20 is correct.

If you divide 20 by 2, you get 10, and if you multiply 2 by 3 1/2, you get 7. The 2 remains part of the expression, so it is equal to 3 1/2 of 20.

I am guessing you have to rotate it 180 degrees and see if it fits in the area in which it’s supposed to fit it’s there another part to the question?

If 2(x + 3) = x + 10, then x equals what
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You need to apply the Distributive property on the left member of the equation:

2(x + 3) = x + 10\\ 2x+6=x+10

2. Now, you must solve for x, as following:

2x-x=10-6\\ x=4
