Answer:
x = - 1/6 + √-119/6, and, - 1/6 - √-119/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the quadratic formula which is: - b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a
a = 3, b = 1, c = 10
- 1 ± √1² -4 * 3 * 10 / 2 * 3
- 1 ± √1 - 120 / 6
-1 ± √-119 / 6
= -1/6 + √119/6, or - 1/6 - √-119/6
For this case, what we must do is solve the following system of equations:
tan (50) = h / x
tan (40) = h / (x + 50)
Solving the system we have:
(x + 50) * tan (40) = h
(x) * tan (50) = h
Matching:
(x + 50) * tan (40) = (x) * tan (50)
Rewriting:
x (tan (50) - tan (40)) = 50 * tan (40)
x = 50 * tan (40) / (tan (50) - tan (40))
x = 118.9692621
Substituting:
h = (x) * tan (50)
h = (118.9692621) * tan (50)
h = 141.7820455
Answer:
The height of the building is:
h = 141.7820455 ft
Ik it’s either a or d but i am not sure, i hope this helps
