Answer: 55 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the building be 'h'.

Since building is standing vertical to the ground making right angle.

Then , the triangle formed is a right triangle .

The given angle of elevation : 32^{\circ}

Using trigonometry , we have

\tan\theta=\dfrac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}\\\\\tan(32^{\circ})=\dfrac{h}{88}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.6248693519=\dfrac{h}{88}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=0.6248693519\times88=54.988502967\approx55\text{ meters}

Hence, the approximate height of the building = 55 meters

Santigo wants to paint the lateral surface of the foam pit red.How many square feet of the foam pit will be painted red?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

468 square feet.

Explanation:

The lateral surface of the foam pit can be calculated as:

Lateral Surface = Perimeter Base x Height

So, the perimeter of the base can be calculated as:

Perimeter = 12 ft + 24 ft + 12 ft + 24 ft

Perimeter = 72 ft

Therefore, the lateral surface is equal to:

Lateral surface = 72 ft x 6.5 ft

Lateral surface = 468 ft²

Then, 468 square feet will be painted red.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

L = 24,873.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the Circumference

Given a circle of radius r, the length of the circumference, or line surrounding the shape is:

The Earth has a diameter of 7,917.5 miles. The radius is half the diameter:

r=7,917.5/2=3,958.75 miles

Assuming a plane flies around the equator at ground level, the distance it would travel is:

L = 24,873.6 miles
