Answer:
16 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This ladder and building creates a right triangle with 34 as the hypotenuse and 30 as a side. the Pythagorean theorem says that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 so 900 + b^2 = 1156. b^2 = 256, square root both sides and you get b = 16
Answer:
The bird has to fly 7.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see diagram in attached image.
Notice that there is a right angle triangle that defines the situation, and you know two elements of such triangle;
1) one acute angle (
), and
2) the side opposite to that angle.
What you need to find is the side adjacent to the angle, which is what the bird needs to fly horizontally to be above the fish. We named that "x".
The trig function that relates such triangle elements is the tangent:

which rounded to the nearest tenth is: 7.5 m
The building is 24 (whatever’s you want ex. Meters, Feet) high. Because 38.7=tan^-1(height/30). Or cos(38.7)=30/hypotenuse. Hypotenuse=30/cos(38.7
Make the two 2/1 and make the 1/3 a 3/1. Your equation should be 2/1 x 3/1, then you must simplify your answer.
