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>

Can someone please help me with these? I'm giving 100 points so please.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

1. -2\frac{9}{12}

2. 10\frac{1}{8}

3. 3

4. -1 > x

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

-\frac{33}{12}  \\12 * 2 = 24\\33 - 24 = 9\\-2\frac{9}{12}

2.

10 \frac{1}{8} / \frac{3}{4} = 13\frac{1}{2} \\13\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 14

3. All share the factor of 3

4. Open circle is used for < (less than) or > (greater than). Shade to the right for > or ≥.

I hope this helps! May I please have brainliest? :)
