Answer:
5956 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If we designate the points at the bases of the skyscrapers as A and B, and the top of skyscraper B as point T, then triangle ABT is a right triangle with angle B = 90° and angle A = 13.7°.
The definition of the tangent function tells us ...
tan(A) = BT/AB
Solving for AB, we find ...
AB = BT/tan(A) = (1452 ft)/tan(13.7°)
AB ≈ 5956 ft
The skyscrapers are about 5956 feet apart.
Answer:
A. An Algebraic Expression
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have no equal sign in the problem, we know that it is an expression. An equation has an equal sign and another value so we can simplify to find the value of whatever variable we are working with. We also know that it is not anything numerical because we are working with variables. With this information we will see that the correct answer is A.
Best of Luck!
