the height of the house is 408ft .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , To estimate the height of a house Katie stood a certain distance from the house and determined that the angle of elevation to the top of the house was 32 degrees. Katie then moved 200 feet closer to the house along a level street and determined the angle of elevation was 42 degrees. We need to find  What is the height of the house . Let's find out:

Let  y is the unknown height of the house, and x is the unknown number of feet she is standing from the house.

Distance of house from point A( initial point ) = x ft

Distance of house from point B( when she traveled 200 ft towards street  = x-200 ft

Now , According to question these scenarios are of right angle triangle as

At point A

⇒ Tan32 =\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}= \frac{y}{x}

⇒ Tan32 = \frac{y}{x}

⇒ y=x(Tan32 )       ..................(1)

Also , At point B

⇒ Tan42 = \frac{y}{x-200}

⇒ y=(x-200)(Tan42)     ..............(2)

Equating both equations:

⇒ (x-200)(Tan42) = x(Tan32)

⇒ x(Tan42-Tan32)=Tan42(200)

⇒ x=\frac{Tan42(200)}{(Tan42-Tan32)}

⇒ x=653ft

Putting  x=653ft in  y=x(Tan32 )  we get:

⇒  y=x(Tan32 )    

⇒  y=653(Tan32 )

⇒  y=408ft

Therefore , the height of the house is 408ft .

100.023424234 divided by 10.32342 = 9.68898138737 
9.68898138737 + 1000.293920 = 1009.98290139
1009.98290139 - 20.2323 = 989.75060139

A theorem in geometry states that the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The first option is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question  the slope  AC is evaluated as

            m_1 =  \frac{b-0}{a- (-c)}

            m_1 =  \frac{b}{a+c}

And  the slope of line  CB is mathematically evaluated as

        m_2 =  \frac{0-b}{c-a}

        m_2 =  \frac{b}{c-a}

Now for lines that are perpendicular to each other then the product of their slope should be equal to  -1

So if  m ZC = 90^o

Then

     m_ *m_2 = -1

i,e  

      [\frac{b}{a+ c} ] [\frac{b}{a-c} ] = -1

G(x)=(cosθsinθ)^4 what's the differential
natulia [17]

Answer:

sin²2θ. (cos θ sin θ). cos 2θ

Step-by-step explanation:

finding g'(x)

g'(x)

  • (x^n)' = nx^(n -1)

= 4 (cosθsinθ)³ . { cosθ. (sinθ)' + sinθ. (cosθ)' }

  • (cosθ)' = - sinθ
  • (sinθ)' = cosθ

= 4 (cosθsinθ)³ { cosθ. cos θ + sinθ.(-sin θ)}

= 4 (cosθsinθ)³{ cos²θ - sin²θ}

  • cos²θ - sin²θ = cos 2θ
  • 2sinθ cosθ = sin 2θ

= (4 cosθ sinθ)². (cosθ sinθ). { cos²θ - sin²θ}

= <u>sin²2θ. (cos θ sin θ). cos 2θ</u>

Need help on geometry!!!
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

15. a,    16. ∠GOH = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

15. A straight angle looks as a line.

16. ∠GOI = ∠GOH + ∠HOI

47 = ∠GOH + 21

∠GOH = 47 - 21 =26

∠GOH = 26
