Answer:

X = 33,669.78 ft

Y = 15285.76 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

let x be the distance btwn arch and plane

and y be the distance btwn  ground point  and arch y

we know that

cos\theta =  \frac{adjacent}{hypotaneous}

cos(27) = \frac{30,000}{x}

xcos27 = 30000

x = \frac{30000}{cos 27}

x = 33,669.78 ft

b) we knwo that

tan \theta  = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan 27 = \frac{y}{30000}

y = tan(27) (30000)

y = 15285.76 ft

In rectangle ABCD with side AD = 6 cm, point M is the midpoint of side
SpyIntel [72]
The triangle that is formed by AMB is a 45 45 90 triangle, so meaning the legs are equal. so in can be concluded that AD = MD, since M is the midpoint of CD, then CD = 2AD
CD = 2(6) = 12 cm

so the perimeter is of the rectangle ABCD is
P = 2l + 2w
P = 2(6) + 2(12)
P = 12 + 24
P = 26 cm
