Answer:

Remi needs 15 cm of wood to be cut for the shelf.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have drawn the triangle for your reference.

Now Given:

Base measure (BC) =30 cm

Slant height (AB) = 24 cm

Slant height (AC) = 18 cm

Also Given horizontal shelf halfway between the base and the top.

In the triangle drawn horizontal shelf is denoted by DE.

We need to find the measure of DE.

Now we know that horizontal shelf halfway between the base and the top.

Hence by Midpoint theorem which states that;

"The segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side."

DE=\frac{1}{2}\times BC

Substituting the value we get;

DE = \frac{1}{2}\times 30 =15\ cm

Hence Remi needs 15 cm of wood to be cut for the shelf.

A flagpole is at the top of a building. 300 feet from the base of the building, the angle of elevation of the top of the pole is
Grace [21]

Answer: We can use tangent here to find the length of the flagpole

First, find the length of the building + the flag pole

tan 32 = x/300

x=300tan32=187.460805573

(length of building + flagpole)

find length of building

tan 30 = x/300

x=173.205080757

subtract

187.460805573-173.205080757=14.255724816

round, length of flagpole = 14 feet
