They are have s0mething that is positive. This is what I think.
since by the provided tickmarks WE ≅ ER, and QE ≅ ET, then both triangles are congruent by LL theorem, Leg Leg.
anyhow, since those legs are congruent, their hypotenuses must also be congruents, and we could use the HL theorem as well.
Let the height of the building be x. Let the initial distance of the ant from the building be y, then
tan 32 = x/y
y = x/tan 32 . . . . . . . . (1)
tan 22 = x/(y + 66)
y tan 22 + 66 tan 22 = x
y = (x - 66 tan 22)/tan 22 . . . . . . . . (2)
Equating (1) and (2), we have
x/tan 32 = (x - 66 tan 22)/tan 22
x tan 22 = x tan 32 - 66 tan 22 (tan 32)
x(tan 32 - tan 22) = 66 tan 22 (tan 32)
x = (66 tan 22 (tan 32))/(tan 32 - tan 22) = 66(0.4040)(0.6249)/(0.6249 - 0.4040) = 16.6626/0.2208 = 75.4
Therefore, the height of the building is 75.4 feet.
Where’s the answer choices ??
Answer:
Point A and point B have 11 units between
Step-by-step explanation:
If the distance between 0 and 10 is 10 also known as the absolute value, you just add one more unit because it starts at -1
So 10 + 1 = 11 and because we are using 10 is greater than 1 its positive so the answer is 11
Hope this helps :)
