Answer:

The buildings are 171.4 ft far apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the of the building-1 = 320 ft

Height of the of the building-2 = 200 ft

Angle of depression from building-1 to to the top of building-2 = θ = 55°

In figure attached, ABC

AB = 320 ft - 200 ft = 120 ft

BC = Distance between the buildings

\theta =\angle ABC = 55^o

In ΔABC

\tan \theta =\frac{AB}{BC}

\tan 55^o=\frac{120 ft}{BC}

BC=120 ft\times \tan 55^o

BC=171.4 ft

The buildings are 171.4 ft far apart.

20 + 1.25d = 2.50d
20 = 2.50d - 1.25d
20 = 1.25d
20 / 1.25 = d

Selecting an SUV with a blue exterior
frozen [14]

The answer is straightforward, by the "rule of product":

There are

3×8×2=48

3×8×2=48

different combinations (distinct possible cars) that can be created.

There 33 choices for body style; 88 choices for exterior colors, and 22 choices of interior color schemes:

Since each of these choices are independent (the choice of body style doesn't depend on exterior or interior color, e.g.) we multiply the number of choices for each quality to obtain: 3×8×2=483×8×2=48 distinct ways to create a car
