Answer:
The new position is 190 feet below sea
Step-by-step explanation:
240-50=190
Answer:
3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of areas of similar figures is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions. That means the ratio of linear dimensions is the square root of the area ratio. The ratio of the smaller triangle dimensions to the larger is then ...
k = √((8 cm^2)/(18 cm^2)) = √(4/9) = 2/3
Then the corresponding side of the smaller triangle is ...
... k · (4.5 cm) = (2/3)·(4.5 cm) = 3 cm
The distance to the top of the building above the range finder can be found from the Pythagorean theorem.
.. d = √(115² -89²) ≈ 72.8 . . . . feet
Adding the height of the range finder, we find the height of the building to be
.. h = d+3 = 75.8 ft
