this point, they find the angle of elevation from the street to the top of the building to be 39°. they then move 300 feet closer to the building and find the angle of elevation to be 50°. assuming that the street is level, estimate the height of the building to the nearest foot

Let h represent the height of the building. Then the difference between the two angle measurement locations is
.. h/tan(39°) -h/tan(50°) = 300 ft
.. h = (300 ft)/(1/tan(39°) -1/tan(50°))
.. h ≈ 758 ft

The height of the building is about 758 feet.

Find the area of a parallelogram with base 15 yards and height 21 2/3
icang [17]

Answer:

A = 325 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is found by multiplying the base times the height

A = bh

A = 15* 21 2/3

Changing the mixed number to an improper fraction

21 2/3 = (3*21+2)/3 = 65/3

A = 15 * 65/3 = 15/3 *65 = 5*65 =325

A = 325 yd^2
