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

Answer: 28

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're given information about the parts of a segment and we're asked to find the value of x.

To find the value of x, we can use the <em>segment addition postulate</em>.

Looking at the diagram, it should make since that RS + ST = RT.

So 4x + 3x + 11 = 60 or 7x + 11 = 60.

Subtracting 11 from both sides and solving for x, we get x = 7.

Since RS is 4x, we can substitute a 7 in for x to get 4(7) or 28.

6. You are planning a trip. You can go to Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego, or Los Angeles. You can
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

There are 24 different trip possibilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the first thing we need to find is all the individual events, such that each event (or selection) will have a given number of options.

The first event is the selection of the location.

Here the options are: Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego, or Los Angeles (4 options)

The second event is the selection of how you go there.

The options are flying or driving (2 options)

The third event is the selection of how many days you will stay there. The options are 3 days, 4 days, and 5 days (3 options).

The total number of different trip possibilities is equal to the product between the number of options for each event.

P = 4*2*3 = 24

There are 24 different trip possibilities.
