Answer:12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b

a-3b=5 ........equation (1)

There product is :

ab=68 ..........equation (2)

From equation (1)

a-3b=5

Make a the subject of the formula

a=5+3b. ........equation (3)

Substitute equation (3) into equation (2)

(5+3b)b=68

3(b^2)+3b-68=0

The product is -204b^2(17 and -12)

(b+17)(b-12)=0

b=-17 or b=12

So the number is 12

The angle of elevation to the top of a 15-story skyscraper is measured to be 4from a point on the ground 2,500 feet from the bui
alexandr1967 [171]

The point of observation is 2500 m away from the foot of the building.

The angle of elevation is 4°.

We need to find the height 'h' of the building.

With respect to 4°,

2500 is the adjacent side.

'h' is the opposite side.

The trigonometric ratio associating opposite & adjacent is tan.

We have

tan\theta =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan4^{o}=\frac{h}{2500}

Cross multiplying we get

h = 2500 tan4°

h= 174.82 m

Option B) is the right answer.
