From the top of a 100-ft building a man
1 answer:
Answer:
219m
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the man observes the car with angle 15 before observing in 33 degrees.
For the first observation
The angle observation gives an angle if 33 degrees with the horizontal.
It gives a triangle which I'll attach to the que,
from the first triangle
Tan 33 = 100/y
Y= 100/ tan 33
Y = 153.99m.
This is the distance from the building to the distance where it was secondly observed( 33).
To find x
tan 15 = 100/(153.99+x)
153.99 + x = 100/ tan 15
153.99 + x = 373.21
The distance between the two observed angles
X= 219m.

C. Isosceles Triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
An Isosceles triangle is a type of triangle in geometry that has two sides of equal length.
From the figure attached, triangle STR has two sides of equal length which are;
1.) ST and
2.) TR
The two equal sides (ST and TR) are called legs while the third side is called the base of the triangle.

Answer:
or
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The scale of the drawing is equal to divide the length of a building in the scale drawing by the actual length of a building
so
That means
15 cm in the drawing represent 37.5 ft in the actual
Remember that
Convert 15 cm to ft
divide by 30.48
substitute
or
That means
1.31 units in the drawing represent 100 units in the actual
