The tower is 650 meters high. Suppose a building is erected such that the base of the building is on the same plane as the base

of the​ tower, the angle of elevation from the top of the building to the top of the tower is 80.38° and the angle of depression from the top of the building to the foot of the tower is 65.05​°. How high would the building have to​ be?

Answer:

173.57\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h -----> the height of the building

x -----> the horizontal distance between the building and the tower

we know that

tan(80.38\°)=(650-h)/x

solve for x

x=(650-h)/tan(80.38\°) -----> equation A

tan(65.05\°)=h/x

solve for x

x=h/tan(65.05\°) ------> equation B

equate equation A and equation B and solve for h

h/tan(65.05\°)=(650-h)/tan(80.38\°)

tan(80.38\°)h=(650-h)tan(65.05\°)

tan(80.38\°)h=(650)tan(65.05\°)-(h)tan(65.05\°)

h[tan(80.38\°)+tan(65.05\°)]=(650)tan(65.05\°)

h=(650)tan(65.05\°)/[tan(80.38\°)+tan(65.05\°)]  

h=173.57\ m

The area of a rectangle is 105 square units. Its width measures 7 units. Find the length of its diagonal. Round to the nearest t
mezya [45]

Answer:

16.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle has an area of 105. It's width is 7.

1: Find the length

     \frac{area}{width}=length

     \frac{105}{7}= 15

      Length=15

2: Pythagorean theorem

      a^{2} +b^2=c^2

       7^{2}+15^2=c^2

       49+225=c^2

        275=c^2

         \sqrt{275} = \sqrt{c^2\\}

          16.55≈c

           Rounded to nearest tenth

              16.6

Evaluate 2.43+51.62+124.77
Damm [24]
2.43 + 1.62 + 124.77 = 178.82 Because all you have to do is add up all the numbers (Don't take the decimals out, leave them in) And then you get: 178.82.

Hope I helped!
