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

Factor completely 3x2 - 21.
VMariaS [17]
3x² - 21

Factor 3 from both terms:

3 (x² - 7)

To me, that's as far as you should need to go.  But if you want to get
completely carried away, you could go one step further, since you have
the difference of two squares:

3 (x + √7) (x - √7)

Of course, there's no end now, because the last binomial could be
considered another difference of two squares, so you'd have to
factor that too:

3 (x + √7) (√x + ⁴√7) (√x - ⁴√7)

but to me, this would be nonsense.

(2 x 106) x (0.00009) = ?
RSB [31]

I think you meant to write

(2 × 10⁶) × 0.00009

First, convert 0.00009 to scientific notation:

0.00009 = 9 × 10 ⁻⁵

Then

(2 × 10⁶) × 0.00009 = (2 × 10⁶) × (9 × 10 ⁻⁵)

… = (2 × 9) × (10⁶ × 10 ⁻⁵)

… = 18 × 10¹

… = 1.8 × 10²

A submarine patrolling the Indian Ocean was situated 800 feet below sea level. If it ascends 275 feet, what is its new position
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

-525 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If a submarine was below sea level, that would mean that it would be at an elevation of negative feet down, so if it's 800 feet below sea level, it's elevation would be -800.

to ascend means to rise, so the submarine would be moving +275 feet (going higher, closer to sea level)

so you can make out this equation: -800 + 275

this would equal: -525
