Answer:

70.1 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

Let AC is the reservoir with A as the bottom and C is the top.

Now, B is the position of Howard which is 109 yards from A i.e. AB = 109 yards.

Again, the angle elevation from B to C is 50 degrees.

So, ∠ ABC = 50°  

Now, \cos 50 = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{109}{x}

⇒ x = 109 cos 50 = 70.1 yards.

Therefore, the distance between the top of the reservoir and Howard i.e. BC is equal to 70.1 yards. (Answer)

zzz [600]

Answer:

1326 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Identify the equation of the surface area of a rectangular prism

       A = 2(wl + wh + hl)

2) Input the corresponding values l=15 cm; w=22 cm; and h=9 cm into the equation, and solve for the area

       A=2(wl+wh+hl)\\A=2((22)(15)+(22)(9)+(9)(15))\\A=2(330+198+135)\\A=2(663)\\A=1326 cm^{2}

3) ∴ A=1326cm^2
