Answer:

4.61 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression of the bottom of the shorter building from the top of the taller building = 48° equals the angle of elevation of the top of the taller building from the bottom of the shorter building

Using trig ratios

tan48° = H/d where H = height of taller building and d = their distance apart = 12 m

H = dtan48° = 12tan48° = 13.33 m

Also, the angle of elevation of the top of the shorter building from the bottom of the taller building is 36°

Using trig ratios

tan36° = h/d where h = height of shorter building

h =dtan36° = 12tan36° = 8.72 m

Now, the difference in height of the buildings is thus H - h = 13.33 m - 8.72 m = 4.61 m

anastassius [24]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

Devin runs an average of 15 min in 7 days

15 * 7 = 105 minutes

She has a goal of running 10² min. in 7 days

10² = 100 minutes

Will she complete her running goal in 7 days?

Yes. On average, she will run 105 minutes in seven days which is more than her 100 minute goal.

Two number cubes (6 sided) are rolled at the same time. What is the probability that the first number cube will land on a 2 or 3
Reil [10]

Answer:

5/36 or approximately 13.88...%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to know the probability of rolling a 2 or 3. Because there are 6  sides, the probability is 2/6

Next, we have to find the probability of rolling an even number. With the numbers:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

1, 3, 5 are odd       2, 4, 6 are even

so, the probability of rolling an even number is 3/6

Finally, multiply the probabilities:

3/6*2/6=5/36

Answer:

5/36 or about 13.88%

Factor completely x^2 + 8x + 15.<br> O (x+3)(x+5)<br> O (x+3)(x-5)<br> O X+1)(x+15)<br> O(x+1)(x-15)
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

x<3 and x<5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic inequality x² - 8x + 15 <0, to get the solution set for the inequality, the following steps must be followedStep 1: Factorize the quadratic expression

x² - 8x + 15 <0

x² - 3x - 5x + 15 <0

x(x - 3) - 5(x - 3)  <0

(x -3)(x -5)< 0

x -3<0 and x -5<0

x< 3 and x< 5
