Answer:

128.67 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Topic: Trigonometric Functions

You should be familiar with the concept of trigonometric functions because this topic involves degrees of traingles with the lenght of their sides, as you can see in the image, you need to remember which trigonometric function involves both sides (not hypotenuse) of a triangle, let's review

O= opposite, A = adjacent, H = Hypotenuse, α = 65°

sen (α) = \frac{O}{H}

cos(α) = \frac{A}{H}

tan(α) = \frac{O}{A}

guess which of them works? yeah its tan(α), so we have that

tan(65°) = \frac{h}{60 ft}

findig h in the previous equation we have that

60 ft * tan(65°) = h

computing in a calculator it means that the height (h) of the tower is

h = 128. 67 ft

What is the answer to the length of a rectangle is 5 feet more then the width and the perimeter is 22 what is is width of the re
Margaret [11]
Question:
l = 5 + w
perimeter = 22
width?

Solution:
Perimeter = 22
2(l + w)     = 22
2(5+w+w) = 22
2 (5 + 2w) = 22
     5 + 2w = 11
           2w = 6
             w = 3

The width is 3
