Answer:

960.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is formed where the distance between Jack and the base of the building is one of the triangles legs and the height of the building plus 5 feet is the other leg (let's call it x). The included angle between the hypotenuse and the distance between Jack and the base of the building is 67°. From definition:

tan(α) = opposite/adjacent

tan(67) = x/400

x = tan(67)*400

x = 965.7 ft

Then, the height of the building is 965.7 ft - 5 ft = 960.7 ft

Answer: 947.34 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the trigonometric functions.  

tan α = opposite side / adjacent side  

Where α is the angle that His line of sight forms with the top of the building, the opposite side is the height of the building minus 5, and the adjacent side is the distance between him and the building (400)

Replacing with the values given:  

tan 67 = x/ 400

Solving for x  

tan 67 (400) =x  

x= 942.34 feet

We have to add 5 feet, since we calculated the height of the building minus the eye level.

942.34 +5 = 947.34 feet

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,6) and (5,6)
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

m=0 (m is the slope)

Step-by-step explanation:

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=6-6/1-5

m=0/4

m=0

*Note: If the zero is in the denominator (on the bottom) the slope is undefined (UND).
