Answer:
0.034921 miles or 1843774 feet tall
Step-by-step explanation:
Using trigonometric functions we know that and
where
=angle and r is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
First we will calculate the hypotenuse using the x equation, since we know x = 1 mile (distance from the building on the ground) we have:
Now we will calculate the height of the building using the y equation and so:
The building is 0.034921 miles or approximately 184.3774 feet tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
first step is to find the gradient of the line which "m" on the equation
gradient formula is y2 - y1 ÷ x2 - x1 = -½ as shown on the picture we substituted those points given
2nd step is to substitute on the equation y=mx+c
m= -½
y= 3 (you can choose any from those given points but in my case I chose point A)
x= -2
c= ? only unknown variable so we can can calculate it
substitute as shown on the picture to get c= 2
therefore our equation of the line will be y= -½x+2
