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

Answer:

For a trapezium of height H, parallel side 1 X, and parallel side 2 Y, the area is:

A = (1/2)*H*(X + Y)

with this we can complete the table.

a)

Here we know:

X = 7cm

Y = 11cm

H = 6cm

Then: A = (1/2)*6cm*(7cm + 11cm) = 54 cm^2

b)

Here we know:

X = 8 m

Y = 10 m

A = 126 m^2

Then:

126 m^2 = 0.5*H*(8m + 10m)

126 m^2 = H*9m

126 m^2/9m = H = 14m

Then the height of this trapezoid is 14m

c)

Here we know:

X = 5mm

H = 8mm

A = 72 mm^2

Then:

72 mm^2 = 0.5*8mm*(5mm + Y)

72 mm^2 = 4mm*(5mm + Y)

72mm^2/4mm = 5mm + Y

18 mm = 5mm + Y

18mm - 5mm = Y

13 mm = Y

Then the parallel side 2 is 13 mm long.
