3. Two cars are parked, 150m apart, and on opposite sides of a building. A camera on the top of the building rotates and can vie

w both cars. One car can be viewed at an angle of depression of 370, and the other car can be viewed at an angle of depression of 420. How tall is the building?

Answer:

<em>The building is 61.5 m tall</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The image below is a diagram where all the given distances and angles are shown. We have additionally added some variables:

h = height of the building

a, b = internal angles of each triangle

x  = base of each triangle

The angles a and b can be easily found by subtracting the given angles from 90° since they are complementary angles, thus:

a = 90° - 37° = 53°

b = 90° - 42° = 48°

Now we apply the tangent ratio on both triangles separately:

\displaystyle \tan a=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}

\displaystyle \tan 53^\circ=\frac{150-x}{h}

\displaystyle \tan 48^\circ=\frac{x}{h}

From the last equation:

x=h.\tan 48^\circ

Substituting into the first equation:

\displaystyle \tan 53^\circ=\frac{150-h.\tan 48^\circ}{h}

Operating on the right side:

\displaystyle \tan 53^\circ=\frac{150}{h}-\tan 48^\circ

Rearranging:

\displaystyle \tan 53^\circ+\tan 48^\circ=\frac{150}{h}

Solving for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac{150}{\tan 53^\circ+\tan 48^\circ}

Calculating:

h = 61.5 m

The building is 61.5 m tall

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The answer is "The second choice".

Step-by-step explanation:

r=6\\\\h=13 \\\\

Formula:

A=2\pi rh

=2\times 3.14 \times 6 \times 13\\\\=2\times 3.14 \times 78\\\\=3.14 \times 156\\\\=3.14 \times 156\\\\=489.84 \approx 489.8 ft^2

Help !!!!!!!!!!! me part 2 question read 1 then read 2 I andswer one need help with 2
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The volume of a cylinder is given by πr²h where, r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder. Also r=d/2 , where d is the diameter of the cylinder. Therefore the volume becomes one-fourth of the initial volume. ... The new volume is 730 mL.

Math be like 0-0????
pashok25 [27]

Answer:  A & C

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

HL is Hypotenuse-Leg

A) the hypotenuse from ΔABC ≡ the hypotenuse from ΔFGH

   a leg from ΔABC ≡ a leg from ΔFGH

   Therefore HL Congruency Theorem can be used to prove ΔABC ≡ ΔFGH

B) a leg from ΔABC ≡ a leg from ΔFGH

   the other leg from ΔABC ≡ the other leg from ΔFGH

   Therefore LL (not HL) Congruency Theorem can be used.

C) the hypotenuse from ΔABC ≡ the hypotenuse from ΔFGH

   at least one leg from ΔABC ≡ at least one leg from ΔFGH

   Therefore HL Congruency Theorem can be used to prove ΔABC ≡ ΔFGH

D) an angle from ΔABC ≡ an angle from ΔFGH

   the other angle from ΔABC ≡ the other angle from ΔFGH

   AA cannot be used for congruence.
