Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the data given in the exercise, we can draw the diagram attached, where "h" is the height of the building reached by the top of the ladder.
Notice that there are two similar triangles.
So, you can set up the following proportion:
Finally, in order to calculate the height on the building reached by the top of the ladder, you must solve for "h".
Therefore, the value of "h" is :
Answer:
1974.6 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
The plane's altitude is : h + 100 feets
To obtain h, according to the attached picture ;
We can use trigonometry :
Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent
Opposite = h ; adjacent = 3000 feets
Tan 32° = h / 3000
h = 3000 * 0.6248693
h = 1874.6080
Plane's altitude :
h + 100 feets
(1874.6080 + 100) feets
= 1974.6 feets
