Answer:

x = 664.093 m

Step-by-step explanation:

tan∅ = opposite over adjacent

Since we are trying to find the horizontal distance, that means we are dealing with the bottom length and not the hypotenuse (the diagonal length):

Our theta (∅) = 52°

Our opposite = 850 m

Our adjacent = x m

tan52° = 850/x

xtan52° = 850

x = 850/tan52°

x = 664.093 m

1-u should know the formulas for calculating different objects areas
2-find the length of their sides or diagonals(which are needed on the formula)
3-calculate the area

for example the triangle on the picture
1-s=leg1*leg2/2
2-the length of:leg1=10-3=7,,leg2=7-1=6
3-s=7*6/2=21

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

273 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total number of people working on an office building = 1092

The building has 4 floors, and the same number of people work on each floor.

We need to find how many people work on each floor. Let there are n people in each floor.

n = Total number of people/Total number of floors

n=\dfrac{1092}{4}\\\\n=273

So, there are 273 people working on each floor.
