A mailbox on the street is 600 feet from the top of a building. From the mailbox looking up to the tops of that building and a s

econd, taller building, the angle between the buildings is 67degrees. The tops of the buildings are 800 feet from each other. If the angle of elevation from the mailbox to the first building is 53 degrees and the taller building is 60 degrees, how tall is each building.

Answer: The height of the first building is 479.16 feet, while the height of the taller building is 704.24 feet.

Step-by-step Explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram for details. Let both buildings be A and B. The tops of both buildings are 800 feet from each other which is line AB. The mailbox is 600 feet from the top of building A which is line AM. In triangle ADM, AD the height of the first is calculated as,

Sin 53 = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 53 = AD/600

0.7986 = AD/600

0.7986 x 600 = AD

479.16 = AD

Then looking at triangle ABM,

Applying the sine rule, we now have

800/Sin67 = 600/SinB

By cross multiplication we now have

SinB = (600 x Sin67)/800

SinB = (600 x 0.9205)/800

SinB = 552.3/800

SinB = 0.690375

B = 43.66 degrees

With that we can determine angle to be;

Angle A = 180 - (67 + 43.66)

Angle A = 180 - 110.66

Angle A = 69.34

Therefore to calculate line BM using the sine rule,

BM/Sin69.34 = 800/Sin67

By cross multiplication we now have

BM = (800 x Sin69.34)/Sin67

BM = (800 x 0.9357)/0.9205

BM = 748.56/0.9205

BM = 813.21

From this point we can now calculate the height of the other building which is line BC.

Looking at triangle BCM, line BC can be calculated as follows;

Sin60 = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin60 = BC/813.21

0.866 x 813.21 = BC

704.2398 = BC

Approximately BC = 704.24

Therefore the height of the first building is 479.16 feet while the height of the taller building is 704.24 feet.

First simplify 3x + 12 - 6x to -3x - 12
Next subtract 12 from both sides
Next subtract -9 - 12 and that would be -21
Next divide both sides by -3
Next lets simplify the fraction -21/-3 into 21/3 since those two negatives make a positive.
Lastly simplify the fraction 21/3 to get the answer.

The Vanderbloom family already traveled 200 miles on their vacation. The total distance that they will travel (d) is a function
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, I'll ask and answer possible questions that emanate from the given parameter.

A possible question is: Write the given information as a function of distance.

We have that;

Base\ Distance = 200

Time = t

Rate = r

The function would be calculated as:

Base Distance + Rate * Time

Substitute values for Base Distance, Rate and Time

This gives:

200 + r * t

200 + rt

Hence;

Distance = 200 + rt

Another possible question is to determine the current distance travelled by the family at a rate of 80 miles per hour for 3 hours.

Here, we have:

r = 80

t = 3

Substitute these values in Function = 200 + rt

Distance = 200 + 80 * 3

Distance = 200 + 240

Distance = 440

Find the greatest common factor of the following 45m 6m5
lisabon 2012 [21]
45m 6m^5 usually helps to list the factors of each number first,
1x45=453x15=455x9=45
1x6=62x3=6
so the biggest number that fits into both would be 3, and the biggest amount you can take of any variable would be the amount of that lowest variable. when given an "m" and "m^5", you can only take out one "m", because when m÷m=1, that means you can't take any more "m's" out. if it were m^2 and m^5 you would take out m^2 :)
so your final answer would be"3m" and if you were taking it out of an equation (if you had 45m+/-6m^6)would look like 3m(15+/-2m^4
