Answer:

The answer to your question is 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

height = 20 ft

leg = 15 ft

length of the line = ?

To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem.

Height = short leg = b

leg = long leg = a

length of the line = hypotenuse = c

- Substitution

         c² = (20)² + (15)²

-Simplification

         c² = 400 + 225

         c² = 625

-Result

         c = \sqrt{625}

         c = 25 ft

Nick wanted to determine the length of one blade of a windmill. He stood at a point on the ground 440 feet from the windmill's b
mafiozo [28]

Answer:There are two right triangles. You need to find the opposite side (the height) of each of them. The difference between the two is the height of the blade, x.

You know the adjacent, 440, and you are looking for the opposite, so you need to use tan for both.

tan (30) = y / 440

y = 440 * tan (30) = 254.034...

tan (38.8) = z / 440

y = 440 * tan (38.8) = 353.769.--

353.8 - 254.0 = 99.8 = 100 feet.
