Answer:

The correct option is:

Building B; it is around 16.35 feet taller than building A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consult the diagram below where the first figure represent building A and second figure represents building B

For building A:

tan θ = Perpendicular / Base

tan 73° = Height of building A / 30

Height of building A = tan73 · 30

Height of building A = 98.13 ft

For building B:

tan θ = Perpendicular / Base

tan 73° = Height of building B / 35

Height of building A = tan73 · 35

Height of building A = 114.48 ft

Building B is taller

Difference in height = height of building B - height of building A

Difference in height = 114.48 - 98.13 = 116.35 feet

Answer:

m<C = 42°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m<A = (2x - 2)°

m<C = (4x - 6)°

m<DBC = (5x + 4)°

Thus:

m<DBC = m<A + m<C (exterior angle theorem of a triangle)

(5x + 4)° = (2x - 2)° + (4x - 6)°

Solve for x

5x + 4 = 2x - 2 + 4x - 6

Collect like terms

5x + 4 = 6x - 8

5x - 6x = -4 - 8

-x = -12

Divide both sides by -1

x = 12

✔️m<C = (4x - 6)°

Plug in the value of x

m<C = 4(12) - 6 = 48 - 6

m<C = 42°

What is the recursive formula for 100, 80, 64, 51.2?
bonufazy [111]

From 100 to 80 is 8/10, so the recursive formula is

an=a(n-1)*1/8

or

an= a1*1/8(n-1)

an=a1*(n-1)/8
