Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of Empire State Building = 1,472 feet

Angle formed by the line segment from the point of ground on which Dante is positioned to the top of the building is  48.4°.

Distance of Dante from the Empire State Building =?

In the fig ,ΔABC

AB = 1,472 feet, BC = ? , θ= 48.4°

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

\tan 48.4^o=\frac{AB}{BC}

BC=\frac{AB}{\tan 48.4^o}=\frac{1,472 feet}{1.1263}=1,306.9 feet\approx 1,307 feet

Distance of Dante from the Empire State Building is 1,307 feet.

Answer:

C. 1307 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angle = 48.4 degrees

Height, opposite side= 1472 feet

his distance from the Empire State Building, base=x

Now as per the trigonometric ratios:

Tan∅= Opposite/base

tan(48.4)= 1472/x

x=1472/(1.13)

x=1302.65

his distance from the Empire State Building is 1302.65 feet!

Tresset [83]

Answer:

<h2>c. 16.5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

It's the right triangle.

The formula of an area of a right triangle:

A=\dfrac{(leg)(leg)}{2}

Look at the picture.

We have

leg=3,\ leg=11

Substitute:

A=\dfrac{(3)(11)}{2}=\dfrac{33}{2}=16.5
