Answer:

149.30ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the vertical distance between the two tower = 40ft

The angle of elevation from the lower tower to te higher tower = 15°

The horizontal distance between the two towers = x

Assuming the angle of elevation and the distance between the two towers makes a right angle triangle, we can use SOHCAHTOA and determine which one would be suitable to find x.

Check attached document for better illustration of the triangle.

Tanθ = opposite / adjacent

Opposite = 40

θ = 15°

Adjacent = x

Tan15 = 40 / x

0.2679 = 40 / x

X = 40 / 0.2679

X = 149.30ft

The horizontal distance between the two towers is 149.30ft

a right triangle has a height of 20 centimeters and a base of 10 centimeters.what is the area of the triangle?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

<u><em>The </em></u><u><em>area of the right triangle</em></u><u><em> is </em></u><u><em>100 centimeters squared.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The </em></u><u><em>formula for the area of a right triangle is:</em></u>

Area = \frac{a*b}{2}

<u><em>Area = (a*b) / 2</em></u>

<u><em>The height of a triangle is represented by a. The base is represented by b.</em></u>

<u><em>Knowing this, we can use what they give us for the values, by </em></u><u><em>plugging them into the formula</em></u><u><em>.</em></u>

<u><em>a is 20 cenimeters</em></u>

<u><em>b is 10 centimeters</em></u>

<u><em>Therefore :</em></u>

Area = \frac{200}{2}

Area = 100

<u><em>So, the </em></u><u><em>area of the right triangle</em></u><u><em> is</em></u><u><em> 100 centimeters squared.</em></u>
