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

What is the length of EF in the right triangle below?
Tema [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to find EF

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, that is

EF² + DF² = DE² ← substitute values

EF² + 12² = 18², that is

EF² + 144 = 324 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

EF² = 180 ( take the square root of both sides )

EF = \sqrt{180} → A

Help ASAP please!!!
N76 [4]

Answer:

$450,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>100% - 38% = 62% of the previous house value is the current house value after the 38% decrease.</h3><h3>We'll first convert 62% to a decimal by dividing by 100.</h3>

62% = 62 / 100 = 0.62

<h2>0.62x = 279,000</h2><h3>Multiply by (100/62) on each side.</h3><h2>x = 450,000</h2><h2>The house value when it was purchased was $450,000.</h2>
