Answer:

  128 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the tower above eye-height is related to the angle by ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(72°) = (tower height above eye height)/(40 ft)

  tower height above eye height = (40 ft)×tan(72°) = 123 ft

Since eye height is 5 ft, the total height of the tower from the ground is ...

  tower height = eye height + height above eye height

  tower height = 5 ft + 123 ft

  tower height = 128 ft

Simplify: |3 – 8| - (12 divided by 3 + 1) to the power of 2
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the following equation is correct, begin by solving the operations within parentheses and absolute value expressions.

|3 - 8| - (\frac{12}{3+1} )^2

|-5| - (\frac{12}{4} )^2

The absolute value of -5 is 5; -5 is five units away from 0. 12/4 is equal to 3.

5 - 3^2

5 - 9 = -4

The simplified expression is equal to -4.
