Answer:
The answer is 30
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to find 120% of a (12).
Therefore; 14.4 is 80% of b, and we are trying to find 100% of b
we do not know what is 100% therefore we call it *x*. In order to find this unknown value *x* we cross multiply.
This is the same as saying;
100% percent would be 1 because it is the whole number we are trying to find. The 80% would be 4/5. To get 4/5 you can simply break down 80/100 ( this is 80% as a fraction).
so the new equation is: 14.4= 4/5x
We divide both sides by 4/5. Then we will get x tobe equal to 18. Therefore b is 18. We were asked to find (a + b) so.<em> </em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>30</em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The idea here is to find the value for x and y, then add them together. See the pic I attached below. We will solve for side x first.
Side s is across from the reference angle of 48 degrees; side measuring 50 m is adjacent to the reference angle 48 degrees. Therefore, we will use the tangent ratio to solve for x:
and
50tan(48) = x so
x = 55.53m
Now we will do the same and solve for y. This time the reference angle is 28 degrees. Side y is opposite the reference angle and the side measuring 50 is adjacent to the reference angle, so we will use the tangent ratio again:
and
50tan(28) = y so
y = 26.59. Therefore,
x + y = 55.53 + 26.59 and
the height of the taller building is
82.1 m
