Answer:

Height of the taller building is 63.5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Kindly find attached rough sketch of the problem for your reference.

Let the small building be A and the taller building be B

From the sketch the two buildings form a right angle triangle

We can solve for x which is the height of the taller building relative to the small building using

SOH CAH TOA

Applying TOA we have

Tan θ= opposite/adjacent

Tan 42°= x/35

x= Tan 42*35

x= 0.9*35

x= 31.5ft

Hence the height of the taller building is = x+height of small building = 31.5+32= 63.5ft

15. If R is the midpoint of OS, OR = 8x - 51 and RS = 3x - 6, find QS.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

if you mean find OS, then:

OS = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

if you mean find OS, then:

8x-51 = 3x-6

5x = 45

x = 9

OS = 2(3x-6)

OS = 6x-12

substitute for x

OS = 6(9)-12 =42
