Which represents a side length of a square that has an area of 450 square inches?
amm1812

The formula of an area of a square:


A=a^2


a - a side


We have A=450\ in^2


substitute:


a^2=450\to a=\sqrt{450}\\\\a=\sqrt{225\cdot2}\\\\a=\sqrt{225}\cdot\sqrt2\\\\\boxed{a=15\sqrt2\ in}


Used:

\sqrt{a\cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}

I'm looking at the top at 79.9 angle. I'm 100ft away. What's the height of the building?
Anni [7]
To solve this, notice that you have the angle component (I will call this a) and the x-component (the distance of you from the building) of a trig formula, and you are looking for the y-component. We will use the tangent formula, since this incorporates the angle, x, and y components.

1. Write the formula

tan(a) = y ÷ x

2. Rewrite to include the known values.

tan(79.9) = y ÷ 100

3. Solve for the unknown variable, y.

tan(79.9) × 100 = y ÷ 100 × 100

tan(79.9) × 100 = y

4. A fancy step that I call the "flip flop."

y = tan(79.9) × 100

5. Use a calculator to find the value (make sure the calculator is in "degree" and not "radians" mode).

y = 561.3968

6. Round the number as is appropriate for this problem.

Have a great day!
