An ant looks up to the top of a building at an angle of elevation of 32°. Then, the ant walks an additional 88 feet from the edg

e of the building. If the new angle of elevation from the ant to the top of the building is 22°, find the height of the building. Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

Tanα=h/x, tanß=h/(x+88)

solving both for x

x=h/tanα, x=h/tanß-88, since x=x

h/tanα=h/tanß-88

h/tanß-h/tanα=88

(htanα-htanß)/(tanα*tanß)=88

h(tanα-tanß)/(tanα*tanß)=88

h=88(tanα*tanß)/(tanα-tanß)

Since α=32 and ß=22...

h=88(tan32*tan22)/(tan32-tan22)

h≈85.3 feet

Please need help on this
Trava [24]

Answer:

The perimeter of a shape is the sum of the measurements of all sides. Since a rectangle have equal lengths and widths, you can just add the numbers twice.

So, 15 + 15 + 8 + 8. So the perimeter is 46 cm.

I'm reasking a previous question to make it more clear. This is a Linear Equation that I must solve. It includes fractions (the
Ugo [173]

Assuming the equation is:

\frac{x}{2}-\frac{10x-25}{10}=3(x+3)-(x-14)


When fractions involve numeric denominators, the fractions can be removed by multiplying (both sides) by the LCM of the denominators.


Here the denominators are 2 and 10, hence the LCM is 10.


Multiply by 10 on both sides, not forgetting to distribute when multiplying on the right side:

10\frac{x}{2}-10\frac{10x-25}{10}=10*3(x+3)-10(x-14)

simplify, remember that there are always implied parentheses around numerators and denominators:

5x-(10x-25)=30(x+3)-10(x-14)

Now, distribute, i.e. remove parentheses and distribute:

5x-10x+25=30x+90-10x+140

Simplify

-5x+25=20x+230

transpose terms

25-230=20x+5x

solve

x=-205/25=-41/5


In this particular case, we can also take advantage of the term

(10x-25)/10=5(2x-5)/10=(2x-5)/2 which greatly simplifies the solution process, because the LCM will then be 2 instead of 10.

If we do that, the solution will be:

Multiply by 2 on both sides, not forgetting to distribute when multiplying on the right side:

\frac{x}{2}-\frac{10x-25}{10}=3(x+3)-(x-14)

simplify, remember that there are always implied parentheses around numerators and denominators:

2\frac{x}{2}-2\frac{2x-5}{2}=2*3(x+3)-2(x-14)

x-(2x-5)=6(x+3)-2(x-14)

Now, distribute, i.e. remove parentheses and distribute:

x-2x+5=6x+18-2x+28

Simplify

-x+5=4x+46

solve

5-46=4x+x

-41=5x

x=-41/5

with the same results.

Help!!!!<br>Somebody help me solve these questions please ​
kykrilka [37]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezium = SOPS/2 × ph

Sops is the sum of 4+10 = <u>1</u><u>4</u>

14/2 is 7. 7×4 = <u>2</u><u>8</u>

<u>A</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>8</u><u>c</u><u>m</u><u>²</u>

Area = L×W

10×6= 60cm²
