Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we find x, we need to set up this triangle a little more. We need to find the triangle's altitude before we can solve for x. We will use the heartbeat method to find the altitude.
Let altitude = y; solve for y:
Now that we know the altitude, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse (x).
Since c and x are the same; c is just the hypotenuse in the Pythagorean Theorem.
Check the picture below, you can pretty much count the units off the grid for the length and width.
recall area = length * width.
The height of the skyscraper to the nearest tenth is 234. 95 meters.
<h3>How to determine the height</h3>
From the information given, we have:
- angle of elevation = 32°
- length of the base, adjacent side = 376 meters
- height of the skyscraper, opposite side = x meters
To determine the height of the elevator, let's use the tangent identity
We have that;
tan θ = opposite/ adjacent
The value of the opposite side is 'x' which is the height of the skyscraper and the value of the adjacent side is 376 meters which is the length of the base of the skyscraper
Now, substitute the values, we have;
tan 32 = x/ 376
cross multiply
x = tan 32 × 376
x = 0. 6249 × 376
x = 234. 95 meters
We know that the 'x' represents the opposite side and thus the height of the skyscraper
Thus, the height of the skyscraper to the nearest tenth is 234. 95 meters.
