Answer:

17.11 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You are using trigonometry in this problem.

The height of the flagpole represents the side opposite the given angle.

The base of the triangle is given as 19 meters and represents the side adjacent to the given angle.

Out of the main trigonomentric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent), only tangent uses both the opposite and adjacent sides.

Tan(angle) = opposite / adjacent

If we plug in what we know into that equation: tan(42 degrees) = h / 19

This means that your answer = 19 * tan(42) = 17.11 meters

Geometry. Very basic.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

A)10.25 cm ; B)5 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

p=(a+b+c) [p= perimeter ; a,b , and c are the side lengths.]

∴The perimeter of the triangle =(4+2.75+3.5) cm

=10.25 cm

Formula:

A = 1/2 . b .h [A=area ; b= base ; h= height]

∴The area of the triangle = (1/2 . 4 . 2.5) square cm [b=4 ; h=2.5]

=5 square cm

22/20 in simplest form

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 22/20 in simplest form would be 11/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find simplest form, you need to reduce the fraction down by a common factor, for instance 2. 22/2 is 11 (which is your numerator) and 20/2 is 10 (which is your denominator).
