Answer:

The distance of the ship from the cliff is 38.465 feet

The height of the cliff is 46.28 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the figure attached d is the distance from the ship to the cliff, and h is the height of the cliff from the ship.

From trigonometry

tan(20^o)=\frac{14}{d}

d=\frac{14}{tan(20^o)}=38.465\:feet.\\\\\boxed{d=38.465ft}

This is the distance to the cliff.

And we have

tan(40^o)=\frac{h}{d}

since d=38.465ft

h=d*tan(40^o)=38.465*tan(40^o)=32.28ft

Ad the height of the cliff is just 14+h or

32.28+14=46.28 ft\\\\\boxed{height=46.28ft}

Which is the height of the cliff.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

ok so first we have to find out how meaning cubes are in each tower so

bob 25*5*6=750

beatrice 12*3*5=180

ok so we want to see how many extra layers bob can add on with beatrices blockes so from looking at bobs tower we can see that 5*6 each layer is 30 so

180/30=6

so bobs will be 31 blocks tall

Hope This Helps!!!
