In the parallelogram ABCD, join BD.
Consider the triangle Δ ABD.
It is given that AB > AD.
Since, in a triangle, angle opposite to longer side is larger, we have,
∠ ADB > ∠ ABD. --- (1)
Also, AB || DC and BD is a transversal.
Therefore,
∠ ABD = ∠ BDC
Substitute in (1), we get,
∠ ADB > ∠ BDC.
Answer:
259 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are isosceles. scalene, equilateral, acute, obtuse and right angled triangle.
A right angled triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees. Trigonometric ratios show the relationship between the angles of a right angle triangle and its sides.
Let h represent the height of the house above water, hence using trigonometric ratios:
tan(26) = h / 531
h = 531 * tan(26)
h = 259 ft.
