Answer:

2.08 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram attached :

We can calculate the height of the shorter building using trigonometry :

s = Height of shorter building

t = height of taller building

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

θ = 36°

Adjacent = 12, opposite = s

Tan36° = s / 12

0.7265425 × 12 = s

s = 8.72 meters

s = height of shorter building 8.72 meters ( 2 decimal places)

Height of taller building :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

θ = 48°

Adjacent = t ; opposite = 12

Tan48° = 12 / t

1.1106125 = 12 / t

1.1106125 × t = 12

t = 12 / 1.1106125

t = 10.80 meters ( 2 decimal places)

Height of Taller building = 10.80 meters

Difference in height :

(10.80m - 8.72m) = 2.08 meters

Answer:

v= 13

w= -32

Step-by-step explanation:

2v+6w=-36

5v+2w=1

2w= 1-5v

2v+ (3)(1-5v)= -36

2v+3-15v= -36

3-13v =-36

3--36= 13v

39= 13v

13 = V

5×13+2w=1

65+2w=1

1-65= 2w

-64=2w

-32=w

Area is square units, so the new area would be the scale factor squared:

Scale factor is 2, so the area would increase by 2^2 = 4

The answer is B.4

Use logarithmic properties and the fact that ln(2) ≈ 0.69 and ln(3) ≈ 1.10 to approximate the value of each of the
leva [86]

Answer:

The answer is 0.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we need to use the log properties taking into account that Ln(2) is aprox. 0.69 and Ln(3) is aprox. 1.10. I think you can understand better as we solve it, so here it goes.

Ln(\frac{8}{3} )=Ln(8)-Ln(3)

Since:

8=2^{3}

Ln(2^{3} )-Ln(3)

Then

3Ln(2)-Ln(3)

Now, we have everything where we want it, in terms of Ln(2) and Ln(3), now it is easy to solve.

3(0.69)-1.10

2.07-1.10=0.97

Best of luck.
