Check the picture below.

make sure your calculator is in Degree mode, since the angles are in degrees.

so "x" is about 25.15 or so, that simply means, the building are about 25 feet apart from each other.

notice, the smaller building is 50 - y in height.

and just a quick note, angle of depression means, the angle below the horizontal, or the angle going downwards from orientation.

Answer:

The next door building is 37.8 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the building at which man is standing = AE = 58.0 feet

Height of the neighboring building = CD = x

Let AB = y

x+ y = 58 ft..[1]

In triangle ABC:

\tan 34.8^o=\frac{AB}{BC}    

0.6950=\frac{y}{BC}...[2]   (\tan 34.8^o=0.6950)

In triangle AED:

\tan 63.3^o=\frac{AE}{ED}

1.9883=\frac{58.0 ft}{ED}  (\tan 63.3^o=1.9883)

ED=\frac{58.0 ft}{1.9883}=29.1710 ft

BC = ED

Putting value of ED in [2]

0.6950=\frac{y}{115.3202 ft}

y=29.1701 ft\times 0.6950=20.2743 ft

Puttig value in y in [1], we get:

x = 58.0 ft - 20.2743 ft = 37.7257 ft ≈ 37.8 ft

The next door building is 37.8 feet tall.

The lovin lemonade company sells a 4 gallon jug of lemonade for $24 the sweet and sour company sells an eight pack of 1 quart bo
lbvjy [14]
One way to compare is to find the price per gallon.
$24 for 4 gallons = 24÷4 = $6 per gallon

8 pack of 1 qt bottle give you 2 gallons (4qts= 1 gallon)  So you get 2 gallons for $16
$16 ÷ 2 = $8.00 per gallon.  Sweet and Sour has the higher unit price.
Even if we compare the price per quart we will get the same answer as to who is selling it at the higher unit price.
4gal for $24 = 16 quarts for $24  ( 1 gallon = 4 qts)
$24 ÷ 16 = $1.50 each (1\frac{1}2})
vs.
 8 quarts for $16  $16 ÷ 8 = $2.00 per qt.  Sweet and sour still has the higher unit price
