Answer:
x=35
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
112.2ft
Step-by-step explanation:
As can be seen in the attached diagram, The top of the building is at C.
The distance from the man to the building is |BD| and the height of the man is |AB| where his eye level is at B.
We are required to find the height |CE| of the building.
Now |AB|=|DE|, (opposite sides of a rectangle).
Tan 65° = |CD|/59
|CD|=59 XTan65°=107.23
The height of the building |CE|=|CD|+|DE|=107.23+5=112.23ft
The height=112.2ft ( to the nearest tenth)
The answer is BC + CD = BD
Answer:
1. Western erodes 2 ft/yr; Dunes builds up at 5 ft/yr
2. Sometime in 2006
3. Solve simultaneous equations
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Erosion patterns
(a) Western Beach
In 15 yr, Western Beach erodes from 100 ft to 70 ft.
The rate of erosion is 30 ft/15 yr = 2 ft/yr.
(b) Dunes Beach
In 15 yr, Dunes Beach builds up from 20 ft to 95 ft.
The rate of buildup is 75 ft/15 yr = 5 ft/yr.
2. Beaches with equal width
From the table, it appears that the beaches will have the same width sometime in year 11 (2006).
3. Best approximation
The graph below also shows that it happens part way through year 11 (2006).
We could get an even better solution by calculating the equations of the two lines and solving the simultaneous equations.
