Answer:

61.97 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometry :

Horizontal distance between the person and building,

Let distance = d

Tan 15 = 15 / d

0.2679491 * d = 15

d = 15 / 0.2679491

d = 55.980781

To obtain the height, h :

tan 40 = (h-15)/d

d = 55.98

h-15 = 55.98 (tan 40°)

h - 15 = 55.98 * 0.8390996

h - 15 = 46.972797

h = 46.972797 + 15

h = 61.972797

h = 61.97 feets

iren [92.7K]
Answer: 3 Bags

If you go from using 1 egg to 3 eggs, you are multiplying the amount you use by 3. If you multiply 1/3 by 3, you get 1 cup of oil. Apply that to your 1 bag of brownie mix, and you get a total of 3 brownie mix bags.

r = 1/3

= 1

In this series a is the first  term = 1

r is the common ratio = 2nd term/1st term = 3rd term/ 2nd term

r = 1/3 ÷ 1 = 1/9 ÷ 1/3

r = 1/3
