780, or C, is correct.  Since 9.75 is 1/80th of the actual measurement, we can set up an equation like this:

9.75 = 1/80x

Then multiply each side by 80:

780 = x

The actual building's height is 780 ft.

We can check this answer by plugging in 780 for x in the original equation:

9.75 = 1/80(780)

9.75 = 9.75

Determine whether the two ratios are proportional. <br><br> 6/36 and 1/6 <br><br> a) Yes <br> b) No
Xelga [282]
Yes, they are. Treat ratios like fractions, simplify them the same way. In 6/36, the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of the numerator and the denominator is six. So, we divide both sides by six. This gives us 1/6, which is still the same fraction. (Making it proportional)

You and another person are sunbathing on the beach near a lifeguard station. The other person chooses a spot that is the same di
Schach [20]

Answer: 26.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached you can see two right triangles  triangle ABD and a triangle ACD.

You are located at point B and the other person at point C.

The approximate height of the lifeguard station is <em>x</em>.

Keep on mind that:

tan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Therefore:

<em>For the triangle ABD</em>:

tan(36\°)=\frac{x}{DC+11}    [EQUATION 1]

<em>For the triangle ACD:</em>

tan(46\°)=\frac{x}{DC}    [EQUATION 2]

Solve from DC from [EQUATION 2]:

DC=\frac{x}{tan(46\°)}

Substitute into [EQUATION 1] and solve for x:

tan(36\°)=\frac{x}{(\frac{x}{tan(46\°)}+11)}\\tan(36\°)(\frac{x}{tan(46\°)}+11)=x\\11*tan(36\°)=x-\frac{xtan(36\°)}{tan(46\°)}\\7.991=0.298x

x=26.81ft≈26.8ft
