The problem says that <span>Brandon sights a helicopter above a building that is 200 feet away at an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. So, you can calculate the height asked, by following this procedure:
</span>
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
α=30°
Opposite leg=x
Adjacent leg=200 feet
When you substitute these values into the formula above (Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg), you have:
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
Tan(30°)=x/200
You must clear "x":
x=200xTan(30°)
Therefore, the value of "x" is:
x=115 feet
<span>
How high above the ground the is the helicopter?
The answer is: 115 feet</span>
The correct answer is C. (5x+3) feet, and here is how I got it.
This is the equation you need to use:
(a+b)^2 = (a+b) (a+b)
So, let us plug in 5x and 3 here:
(5x+3)^2 = (5x+3)(5x+3) = 25x^2 + 15x + 15x + 9 = 25x^2 + 30x + 9 which is the area of the garden.

When they talk about congruent polygons, they meant geometric figures that are all equal in shape and size.
It's angled, and the side length is equal too.
When you piled equal polygons, you'll end up with what we call prisms. It's the 3D form of a polygon.
If you stack squares, you'll have a cube.
If you stack octagons, you'll have an octagon prism.
