Answer:
We are given that the two triangles are approximately equal or similar thus
angle M=angle Z = 124
angle L = angle X = 33
angle N= angle Y = ?
The total angles is 180, thus angle N or Y is 180- (124+33) = 23
Ratio and proportion
height:shadow=1.5:2
for the building, shadow=24
1.5:2=h:24
1.5/2=h/24
multiply both sides by 24
36/2=h
18=h
the building is 18 meters
Answer:
D) 28.762 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean theorem. The equation for this right triangle would be a^2+b^2=c^2. Since you have one leg and the hypotenuse, you can plug these into the equation. It would be 7^2+b^2=12^2. Do the exponents. You will get 49+b^2=144. You need to get b by itself so subtract each side by 49. You get the equation b^2=95. Square root each side to get b=9.746. This rounds to 9.7. So the answer is A. Hope this helps! ;)
