For the first question, simply make a right angle triangle with the following dimensions.
The angle of elevation or the angle from the ground between the first floor and ground is 60 degrees.
The height between the 2 floors is 26 feet.
Solve for the hypotenuse, or the diagonal length between the first and second floors.
Then for the second question, divide the length in feet by the rate to find the time it takes for the object to move.
Answer: 16x - 4
Explanation: Since all of the sides of a square are equal in length by definition, the perimeter of a square is 4 times its side length. 4(4x-1) is 16x - 4 when simplified.
0.377 + 5.51 = 5.887
Sorry I can only solve the first one. Could you give me a hint on how to do the second one ?
