Distance of the person from the building (x)

tan 24 = 20/x => x = 20/tan 24 = 44.92 ft

The height of the building above the height of the person and the distance of the person from the building forms two legs of right angled triangle.

Therefore, if h is the height of the building, then;
tan 31 = (h-20)/44.92
h-20 = 44.92 tan 31
h = (44.92 tan 31) + 20 = 26.99 + 20 = 46.99 ft

If m &lt; A = 4x + 12 and x = 15, is &lt; A acute, obtuse, or right? Justify your answer.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle A = 4x + 12 = 4(15) + 12 = 72°.

Acute is for angles that are less than 90°.

Obtuse is for angles that are between 90° and 180°, not inclusive.

Right is for angles that are 90°

Hence the answer is acute.
