The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
(35)/(40.5+54)=x/54-------- > (35)/(94.5)=x/54---------> x=(54)*(35)/(94.5)
X=20 ft
the answer is 20 ft
we know that
(35)/(40.5+54)=x/54-------- > (35)/(94.5)=x/54---------> x=(54)*(35)/(94.5)
X=20 ft
the answer is 20 ft
Answer:
The height of the platform is 20 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached, the problem is shown.
Let's call α to the angle opposite to the 35 ft side. From sine definition:
sin α = opposite/hypotenuse
Taking into consideration both, major and minor triangles:
sin α = 35/(40.5 + 54) = x/54
where x can be isolated, as follows:
x = 35/(40.5 + 54) * 54 = 20 ft
