Answer:

279.62 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a rectangle with 5ft x 305ft sides representing the area between your device and the base of the courthouse.

In addition to this we have an angle of 42 °

The height would come being the length of the opposite side of this triangle.

We know that:

tan (° A) = opposite / adjacent

Adjacent side is 305 ft and ° A is 42 °

Solved for opposite:

Opposite = adjacent * tan (° A)

Opposite = 305 * tan (42) = 274.62 feet

We must add 5 feet to this result and we are left with:

274.62 + 5 = 279.62

It means that the height is 279.62 feet

What is the total area of the figure below? i need help
kap26 [50]
Total area is 1680 sq. inches.

Area = width * height

I noticed that the figure can form 10 rectangles with a width of 14 inches and a height of 12 inches.

Area = 14 inches * 12 inches
Area = 168 sq. inches     ** This in only the Area of 1 rectangle.

To get the total area of the figure. Multiply Area by the 10 rectangles that can be formed in the figure.

168 sq. inches * 10 = 1680 sq. inches.
