Emery looks out their apartment window to the building across the way. The building isknown to be 42 feet tall. The angle of dep

ression from Emery's window to the bottom of the buildingis 27◦, and the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 23◦. Find Emery's distance x from thebuilding across the way.

Answer:

x=44.5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height h=42ft

Angle of depression \theta=27\textdegree

Angle of Elevation \alpha=23 \textdegree

Generally the equation for the vertical distance between Emery's distance x and the bottom of the building  is mathematically given by

Since the angle of depression and elevation are given as

27 and 23 respectively

Therefore

Emery's view of the 42 ft building is

\gamma=23+27

\gamma=50  \textdegree

Therefore Emery's distance x to the base of the building h' is

h'=\frac{27}{50}*42

h'=22.68ft

Generally the Trigonometric equation for Emery's distance x is mathematically given by

x=\frac{h'}{tan\theta}

x=\frac{22.68}{tan 27}

x=44.5ft

Choose three intervals on the real number line that contain both rational and irrational numbers. Do you think that any given in
Helen [10]

Any real number line ranges from negative infinity to positive infinity. A real number number line consists of all the rational and irrational numbers. Let us take three intervals which contain both the rational and irrational numbers.

First interval:  [3,4]

Since every integer is a rational number, 3 and 4 are both rational. In this interval there occurs the value of π (3.14159..) which is an irrational number.

Second interval :  [0,2]

0 and 2 are integers and hence are rational. In this interval, occurs √2 (1.41421...) is an irrational number.

Third interval : [2,3]

In this interval, Eulers number 'e' lie whose value is (2.718281.. )

Hence we can conclude that, there occurs an irrational number between any two rational number.
