Answer:

  1353 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The cliff height and the distance from its base to the boat form the legs of a right triangle. The cliff height is the leg opposite the elevation angle, and the distance to the boat is the leg adjacent. Given these two legs of the triangle, the tangent relation seems useful:

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

We want to find the cliff height (opposite), so we can multiply this equation by Adjacent:

  Opposite = Adjacent×Tan

  cliff height = (2994 ft)(tan(24°19')) ≈ 1353 ft

The cliff is about 1353 feet high.

What is the length of the unknown side?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Hi there!

The correct answer is: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

knowing this a right triangle you can solve this problem in two ways

Method One: Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 then plug in the values

(12)^2 + (16)^2 = c^2 this will come out to be 400 = c^2

square root both sides and you get c = 20

Method Two: Pythagorean Identities

if you ever learned the Pythagorean identity 3,4,5

this triangle is indeed a 3,4,5 triangle it's just that each side is multiplied by the factor 4

so in this case since you know the missing side should be 5 you just multiply 5 by 4 and you get 20

The side of a square is Two raised to the seven halves power inches. Using the area formula A = s2, determine the area of the sq
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square = s²

s is the side length of the square

Given

s = 2^{7 1/2}

s = 2^15/2

Area = ( 2^15/2)²

Area = 2^15

Hence two area of the square is 2^15 inches
