Answer:

Height of the skyscraper = 230.07 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle AB is a skyscraper that casts a shadow of 200 feet long.

If the angle of elevation of the sun is 49°

In the given right angle triangle ABC

tanC = \frac{AB}{BC}

tan49=\frac{AB}{200}

AB = 1.1504×200

     = 230.07 feet

Therefore, the height of the skyscraper is 230.07 feet

Based on the information, you could find it using this formula :

Assuming the height of the skyscraper is coded as 'y'

Tan 49 = y/200

1.1504 = y/200

y = 230.8 Feet

hope this helps

Solve the following problems using 5-D process part 2
svet-max [94.6K]

The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.

In the first case, let g and b be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.

We know that g=2b+4 (the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that g+b=61 (there are 61 students in total).

So, we have the system

\begin{cases}g=2b+4\\g+b=61\end{cases}

We can use the first equation to substitute in the second

g+b=61 \iff (2b+4)+b=61 \iff 3b+4=61 \iff 3b=57 \iff b=19

And then solve for g:

g=2b+4=2\cdot 19+4=38+4=42

For the second problem, let c and j be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system

\begin{cases}c=j+12\\c+j=230\end{cases}

And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.

What is the area of the following trapezoid in square feet?
tangare [24]

Answer:

82.5 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h (b₁ + b₂)

where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases

Here h = 7.5, b₁ = 7 and b₂ = 15 , then

A = \frac{1}{2} × 7.5 × (7 + 15) = 0.5 × 7.5 × 22 = 82.5 ft²

The width of a rectangle is 6 2/3 inches. The length of the rectangle is twice its width. What is the perimeter of the rectangle
hichkok12 [17]
A perimeter of a rectangle is:
2(l+w)

They give you the width, but let's convert it to an improper fraction first:
6 \frac{2}{3} =  \frac{20}{3}

The length is twice the width so it is:
\frac{20}{3}*2 =  \frac{40}{3}

Now, we are ready to solve, plug in values in the perimeter formula:
2(  \frac{40}{3}+ \frac{20}{3}) =  2(\frac{60}{3}) =  \frac{120}{3} = 40

So, 40 is your answer.
