Answer:

tectonic plates

Explanation:

The earth's crust - the outermost layer of planet Earth, formed by rocks - is subdivided into several “pieces”, which, despite being separate, are always in contact with each other. The set of these pieces is called tectonic plates.

Tectonism - also known as the movement of plate tectonics - has transformations that can be directly perceived by people on the earth's surface, such as earthquakes, the movement of continents, the formation of volcanoes and also the appearance of mountains.

From the top of a building 42 feet high, the angle of depression to a car stopped on the ground it is 27°. What is the distance

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$82.43\ \text{feet}$

Explanation:

Angle of depression = $27^{\circ}$

b = Height of building = 42 feet

$\theta=90-27=63^{\circ}$

p = Distance from the car to the base of the building

From the trigonometric identities we get

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{p}{b}\\\Rightarrow p=b\tan\theta\\\Rightarrow p=42\tan63^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow p=82.43\ \text{feet}$

The distance from the car to the base of the building is $82.43\ \text{feet}$ .
