Answer:

Distance of the keys on ground from the base of the tower = 7.38 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of tower = 94 ft

Tower is leaning and makes an angle of 85.5 degrees from the ground.

Keys are dropped from the top of the tower.

To find the distance of the keys on ground from the base of the tower.

From the data given to us we can construct a right triangle ABC.

For the Δ ABC

AB= 94 ft

∠A= 85.5°

We can apply trigonometric ratio to find side BC which is  the distance of the keys on ground from the base of the tower.

Using cosine ratio: \cos\theta=\frac{Adjacent\ side}{Hypotenuse}

In Δ ABC

\cos85.5\°=\frac{AC}{AB}

Multiplying both sides by AB.

AB\cos 85.5\°=\frac{AC}{AB}\times AB

AB\cos 85.5\°=AC

AC=AB\cos 85.5\°

Substituting value of AB and cos 85.5°

AC=94\cos 85.5\°

∴ AC=7.38\ ft

Distance of the keys on ground from the base of the tower = 7.38 ft

With a rectangle length of 309 cm.and width of 249cmdoes it have the perimeter of 1500 cm?
horsena [70]
1116 is the perimeter it has. The formula for perimeter is 2l+2w=p
so when you plug the numbers in you get 2(309)+2(249)=1116. So it does not have a perimeter of 1500 cm.

I really need the help.....

Answer:

Similar - Top center, bottom left

Not similar, different shape - Top left, bottom right

Not similar, different ratio of side lengths - Top right, bottom center

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see automatically that the top left and bottom right are not similar because they are a triangle and a trapezoid, not a rectangle.

Top right is not similar because of its different ratio of sides. The ratio for the sides of the original rectangle is 3:7, while the ratio of the top right is 2:3.5 .

Bottom center is not similar because of its different ratio of sides as well, as its ratio is 6:12
