ou live in the building on the left in the drawing, and a friend lives in the other building. the two of you are having a discus

sion about the heights of the buildings, and your friend claims that the height of his building is more than 1.50 times the height of yours. to resolve the issue you climb to the roof of your building and estimate that your line of sight to the top edge of the other building makes an angle of 21° above the horizontal, whereas your line of sight to the base of the other building makes an angle of 52° below the horizontal. determine the ratio of the height of the taller building to the height of the shorter building. state whether your friend is right or wrong.

Answer:

1.3

Friend is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

friend's claim: height of his building is more than 1.50 times the height of yours

line of sight to the top edge of the other building makes an angle of 21° above the horizontal

line of sight to the base of the other building makes an angle of 52° below the horizontal

Solution:

Let A be the height of your building is A

Let B+A his building is B higher than yours.

Let the distance between the buildings is x.  

then

tan 52 = A/x

tan 21 = B/x  

A/B = tan 52 / tan 21

      =  1.27994 / 0.38386

A/B = 3.33

(A + B) / A = 1.5 0

A/A + B/A = 1.50

1 + B/A = 1.50

B/A is basically (B/x) / (A/x)

So

1+ 3.33 / 3.33

= 4.33/3.33

= 1.3

Since 1.3 is not equal to 1.5

Hence the friend's claim is wrong.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: Choice A

If the compass isn't open wide enough, then the arcs won't intersect forming the points we need to create the perpendicular bisector.

∠A and \angle B∠B are vertical angles. If m\angle A=(6x-11)^{\circ}∠A=(6x−11) ∘ and m\angle B=(5x+4)^{\circ}∠B=(5x+4) ∘ , then f
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: \angle B=79^{\circ}.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines cross each other , then the opposite angles are known  as vertical angles.

Vertical angles are equal.

Here, ∠A and ∠B are vertical angles.

So, ∠A = ∠B

If \angle A=(6x-11)^{\circ} and \angle B=(5x+4)^{\circ}

Then , 6x-11=5x+4

Subtract 5x from both sides, we get

x-11=4

Add 11 on both sides, we get

x=15

Now , \angle B=(5(15)+4)^{\circ}=79^{\circ}

Hence, the measure of \angle B=79^{\circ}.
