Are you sure that is a real question
Answer:
160 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The width is 40% of the length, so is ...
0.40 × 20 ft = 8 ft
The area is the product of length and width:
A = LW
A = (20 ft)(8 ft) = 160 ft²
square root(-108) - square root(-3) =8.66025404 i
The problem says that <span>Brandon sights a helicopter above a building that is 200 feet away at an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. So, you can calculate the height asked, by following this procedure:
</span>
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
α=30°
Opposite leg=x
Adjacent leg=200 feet
When you substitute these values into the formula above (Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg), you have:
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
Tan(30°)=x/200
You must clear "x":
x=200xTan(30°)
Therefore, the value of "x" is:
x=115 feet
<span>
How high above the ground the is the helicopter?
The answer is: 115 feet</span>
