Answer:
Given speed of trolley = 125 meters per minute
Now we know that
Distance= Speed x time
Thus for the first case since the time of travel is less than 450 seconds thus the distance traveled is less than
Distance < 2.083 x 450 =937.5 meters
hence depending on the given information we cannot come to any conclusion weather the distance travelled is less than 800 m or greater than 800 m.
For the second case
since the time of travel is greater than 400 seconds
Thus the distance traveled is
which is greater than 800 meters.
Answer:
<em>The building is 61.5 m tall</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The image below is a diagram where all the given distances and angles are shown. We have additionally added some variables:
h = height of the building
a, b = internal angles of each triangle
x = base of each triangle
The angles a and b can be easily found by subtracting the given angles from 90° since they are complementary angles, thus:
a = 90° - 37° = 53°
b = 90° - 42° = 48°
Now we apply the tangent ratio on both triangles separately:
From the last equation:
Substituting into the first equation:
Operating on the right side:
Rearranging:
Solving for h:
Calculating:
h = 61.5 m
The building is 61.5 m tall
