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

Describe the solution(s) to 9x² - 36x + 36 = 0 by just determining the radicand. Show your work. (10 points) Part B: Describe th
Mariana [72]

The solution to the equations are:

  • 9x² - 36x + 36 = 0 has two equal real solutions
  • x² - x + 4 = 0 has no real solutions
  • The factored expression of 4x² + 23 – 35 is 4(x² -3)

<h3>Part A: Describe the solution</h3>

The equation is given as:

9x\² - 36x + 36 = 0

The above equation is a quadratic equation which can be represented as:

ax\² + bx + c = 0

The discriminant (d) is calculated as:

d = b\² - 4ac

So, we have:

d = (-36)\² - 4 * 9 * 36

d = 0

A discriminant of 0 means that the equation has two equal real solutions

Hence, 9x² - 36x + 36 = 0 has two equal real solutions

<h3>Part B: Describe the solution</h3>

The equation is given as:

x\² - x + 4 = 0

The above equation can be represented as:

ax\² + bx + c = 0

The discriminant (d) is calculated as:

d = b\² - 4ac

So, we have:

d = (-1)\² - 4 * 1 * 4

d = -15

A discriminant of -15 means that the equation has no real solutions

Hence, x² - x + 4 = 0 has no real solutions

<h3>Part C: The solution to the expression</h3>

We have:

4x\² + 23 - 35

Evaluate the difference

4x\² -12

Factor out 4

4(x\² -3)

Hence, the factored expression of 4x² + 23 – 35 is 4(x² -3)
