A + C = 90/190
B + D = 100/190
Therefore answer is H
Answer:
Height of the building = 50.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A person and a building are casting the shadows at the same time of the day.
Triangles formed by the person and his shadow and the building and its shadow will be similar.
Therefore, corresponding sides of the similar triangles will be proportional.
x = 
x = 50.75
x ≈ 50.8 ft
In this problem, you apply principles in trigonometry. Since it is not mentioned, you will not assume that the triangle is a special triangle such as the right triangle. Hence, you cannot use Pythagorean formulas. The only equations you can use is the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines.
For finding side a, you can answer this easily by the Law of Cosines. The equation is
a2=b2 +c2 -2bccosA
a2 = 11^2 + 8^2 -2(11)(8)(cos54)
a2 = 81.55
a = √81.55
a = 9
Then, we use the Law of Sines to find angles B and C. The formula would be
a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
9/sin54° = 11/sinB
B = 80.4°
9/sin54° = 8/sinC
C = 45.6°
The answer would be: a ≈ 9, C ≈ 45.6, B ≈ 80.4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply the Pythagorean Theorrem. Find the sum of the squares of the two shortest sides and determine whether this sum equals the square of the longest side:
#19: 5^2 + 12^2 = ? = 13^2
25 + 144 = ? = 169 This is true, so you do have a right triange in #19.
#21: 2^2 + 4^2 = ? = 7^2, or 4 + 16 = ? = 49 This is false. Not a right
triangle.
Apply this same approach (Pythagorean Theorem) to the remaining problems.
0.80m
0.50c
1.40B
0.50(8)+0.80(16)
1.40(5)-12.8(3)
31.04 should be your answer, sorry if I'm wrong!
