The tallest building in Africa is the Carlton Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa. What is the distance from the top of this 73

5 ft building to the horizon to the nearest mile?
(Hint: 5,280 ft = 1 mi; radius of Earth = 4,000 mi)

Answer:

b = 33 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration forms a right angled triangle. The opposite side of the triangle is where we are looking for . The adjacent side is the radius 4000 miles.

5280 ft = 1 mile

735 ft = ? miles

cross multiply

735/5280

miles = 0.13920454545  miles

The hypotenuse side is the height of the building + 4000 miles = 0.140 + 4000 = 4000.14  miles

using Pythagoras theorem

c² = a² + b²

c = 4000.14

a = 4000

4000.14² = 4000² + b²

b² = 4000.14² - 4000²

b² = 16001120.0196  - 16000000

b² = 1120.0196

b = √1120.0196

b = 33.4666938911

b = 33 miles

Find the length of diagonal HJ. Round to the nearest hundredth.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The length of the diagonal HJ is 10.82 units

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the rule of the distance between two points

- d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}, where

 (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) are the two points

* Lets use this rule to find the length of the diagonal HJ

∵ The coordinates of point H are (-4 , 3)

∵ The coordinates of point J are (5 , -3)

∴ x_{1}=-4 and x_{2}=5

∴ y_{1}=3 and y_{2}=-3

- Lets find the length of the diagonal HJ by using the rule above

∴ HJ = \sqrt{(5-(-4))^{2}+(-3-3)^{2}}=\sqrt{(5+4)^{2}+(-6)^{2}}

∴ HJ = \sqrt{(9)^{2}+36}=\sqrt{81+36}=\sqrt{117}=10.81665

∴ HJ = 10.82

* The length of the diagonal HJ is 10.82 units
