Answer:

The height of building is 55 m

Step-by-step explanation:

   Given : A building in a downtown business area casts a shadow that measures 88 meters along the ground. and also given the shadow creates a 32° angle with the ground.

We have to determine the approximate height of the building.

Consider the Δ ABC, where AB be the building and BC be the shadow it cast on ground.

Then BC = 88 m and measure of angle  C = 32°

Let h be the height of building.

Using trigonometric ratios,

\tan\theta=\frac{Perpendicular}{base}

Here,  Perpendicular = h

base = 88

and \theta=32^{\circ}

Substitute, we have,

\tan32^{\circ}=\frac{h}{88}

Solve, for h, we have,

h=tan\:32^{\circ }\cdot 88

Simplify, we have,

h=54.98

Thus, The height of building is 55 m

Serggg [28]

Answer:

<em>X=</em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em>/</em><em>7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x+18+2x=-18x-18

-4x+18= -18x-18

-4x+18x=-18-18

14x=-36

x=-36/14

Answer:

a) The Total fee, that Mike charges for 4 hours of instruction is $152

b) The total fee, that Tony charges for 4 hours of instruction is $148

c) The difference between total fee Mike and Tony charge for 4 hours of instructions is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) What is the total fee, that mike charges for 4 hours of instruction.

Mike charges $12 for travel expenses and $35 per hour for instruction.

So, the equation will be: y=35h+12 where h is number of hours and y is cost

Put h=4 and find cost

y=35h+12\\y=35(4)+12\\y=140+12\\y=152\\

So, the Total fee, that Mike charges for 4 hours of instruction is $152

b) What is the total fee, that Tony charges for 4 hours of instruction

Tony's fee can be modelled by C=32h+20 where h is number of hours and C is cost

Put h=4

C=32h+20\\C=32(4)+20\\C=128+20\\C=148

So, the total fee, that Tony charges for 4 hours of instruction is $148

c) What is the difference between total fee Mike and Tony charge for 4 hours of instructions.

Cost for Mike = $152

Cost for Tony = $148

Difference = 152 - 148 = 4

So, the difference between total fee Mike and Tony charge for 4 hours of instructions is $4
