Answer:

(a) The height of the building is 60.06 m

(b) The distance AB is 139.43 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are

Given that segment BT = segment AT + 29

By trigonometric ratios, we have;

cos∠ATC = CT/AT

cos∠BTC = CT/BT

Therefore, we have;

cos(40°) = CT/AT.................................(1)

cos(56°) = CT/BT = CT/(AT + 29).....(2)

cos(56°) = CT/(AT + 29)......................(3)

From equation (1)

CT = AT×cos(40°)

From equation (3)

AT×cos(56°) + 29 × cos(56°) = CT

Therefore;

AT×cos(40°) = AT×cos(56°) + 29 × cos(56°)

AT×cos(40°) - AT×cos(56°) =  29 × cos(56°)

AT×(cos(40°) - cos(56°)) =  29 × cos(56°)

AT = 29 × cos(56°)/(cos(40°) - cos(56°)) = 78.4 m

TC = CT = AT×cos(40°) = 78.4×cos(40°) = 60.06 m

The height of the building = 60.06 m

(b) BT = AT + 29 = 78.4 m + 29 m= 107.4 m

AB = AT×sin(∠ATC ) + BT×sin(∠BTC) = 78.4×sin(40°) + 107.4×sin(56°) =  139.43 m

The distance AB =  139.43 m.

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

BC=15\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

In the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AB^2=AC^2+BC^2

substitute the given values

17^2=8^2+BC^2

solve for BC

BC^2=17^2-8^2

BC^2=225

BC=15\ units

Solve for x.
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The Answer is: x = 1.444 with repeating 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

212x - 34(2x + 5) = 38

212x - 68x - 170 = 38

212x - 68x = 38 + 170

144x = 208

x = 208/144 = 52/35 or 1.444

Proof:

212(1.444) - 34(2(1.444) + 5) = 38

306.128 - 34(7.888) = 38

306.128 -  268.192 = 37.936 or approximately 38

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)
