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

Find the surface area of the prism below. See attachment, 58 cm is incorrect.
Masja [62]

Answer:

Surface area of the given figure = 48 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area is nothing area of all the sides.

We can find the area of each figure add them together.

There are two triangles with the same measures.

One rectangle with measure of 4 by 3.

Another rectangle with the measure of 5 by 3.

One square with the measure of 3.

Surface area = Area of two triangles + rectangle 1 + rectangle 2 + square

Formulas:

Area of the triangle = 1/2 base* height

Area of the rectangle = length * width

Area of the square = side x side

Applying the formula, we get

=2[1/2 (3*4)] + 4*3 + 5*3 + 3^2

= 12 + 12 + 15 + 9

Surface area of the given figure = 48 cm^2

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
