Answer:

h = 3*tan(62) where h is the height

Step-by-step explanation:

You basically have a right triangle.  the standing man is the vertical line, the shadow is the horizontal line and the 62 degrees is the angle betweenthe horizontal line and the hypotenuse.

So, relative to the angle we have the adjacent angle and opposite.  What uses those?  Tangent.  tan(x) = opp / adj

tan(62) = h/3

h = 3*tan(62) where h is the height

In a triangle of sides‘s length a , b and c

in order to be able to form (construct) this triangle we must have :

c - a < b < c + a

in fact this work with cases a) ,c) and d)

Write an expression for the perimeter of the triangle below.
jekas [21]

Answer:

8.9k

Step-by-step explanation:

We just have to add together the length of the three sides to find the perimeter of the triangle.

(1.8k-5)+(3.5+6.1k)+(k+1.5) = 1.8k-5+3.5+6.1k+k+1.5

Combine like terms.

1.8k<em>-5+3.5</em>+6.1k+k<em>+1.5</em> = 8.9k <em>+ 0 </em>

                                    = 8.9k
