Answer:
87.7 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
In triangle ABC, attached.
The height of the building |AB|=443 meters
The distance of the agent across the street , |BC|=18 meters
We want to determine the angle at C.
Now,
The agent should sfoot his laser gun at an angle of 87.7 degrees.
The answer is HJ , just got 100 on the quiz :)
Answer:
101 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The direct path across the stream and perpendicular to both sides of the stream is one leg of a right triangle. The 20 meter distance on the arriving side of the stream is another leg of the right triangle. The path he actually took is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
leg 1 = 99 m
leg 2 = 20 m
hypotenuse = ?
We have a right triangle, and we know the lengths of the two legs. We need to find the length of the hypotenuse, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
99^2 + 20^2 = c^2
9801 + 400 = c^2
c^2 = 10201
c = sqrt(10201) = 101
Answer: 101 meters
