Answer:

The  height of the building is 73.2\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

tan(38\°)=\frac{BC}{AB}

we have

AB=63\ ft

substitute and solve for BC

tan(38\°)=\frac{BC}{63}

BC=(63)tan(38\°)=49.2\ ft

Find the height of the building

The  height of the building (h) is equal to

h=BC+24=49.2+24=73.2\ ft

I choose the slope intercept form since it was easy to calculate. The slope was given, you just need to plot in the points to find the y- intercept.

Ms.Friedman and Mrs.Elliot both teach sixth grade math. They share a storage closet. What is the total area of both rooms and th
Citrus2011 [14]
Answer:
Total area of both rooms and the storage = 2844 ft^2

Explanation:
Total area would initially be the summation of the area of Ms. Friedman's room and storage added to Mrs. Elliot's room and storage.
However, we are given that the storage is shared.
So now, the total area would be equal to Ms. Friedman's room and storage + Mrs. Elliot's room and storage - area of closet

Now, we can notice that:
Ms. Friedman's room and storage = Mrs. Elliot's room and storage

Therefore:
Total area = 2*Ms. Friedman's room and storage - area of storage

1- getting area of Ms. Friedman's room and storage:
length = 36 ft 
width = 40 ft
area of Ms. Friedman's room and storage = length * width
area of Ms. Friedman's room and storage = 36 * 40
area of Ms. Friedman's room and storage = 1440 ft^2

2- getting area of closet:
length = 36 - 30 = 6 ft
width = 40 - 34 = 6 ft
area of closet = length * width
area of closet = 6 * 6 = 36 ft^2

3- total area of both rooms and the storage:
Total area = 2*Ms. Friedman's room and storage - area of storage
Total area = 2*1440 - 36 
Total area = 2844 ft^2

Hope this helps :)

Which composition of transformations will create a pair of similar, not congruent triangles?
lana66690 [7]

Answer: D  a rotation, then a dilation

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is said to be congruent when all angles are equal to each other and and has the same side.

it is similar  when the two angles correspond with each other and has different sides.

so for a triangle to be different in side only a dilation has to be apply to it. Performing a rotation,reflection, and translation doesn't change the size of the shape it  changes the position of the shape.
