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

Scientific notation for 3427
Deffense [45]

Answer:

3.427 *10^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10 . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

The density of acetic acid is 1.05 g/mL. What is the volume of 327 g of acetic acid?
steposvetlana [31]
This is a chemistry problem btw. But, either way, the formula for density is mass per unit of volume. To solve for volume, bring the D over to get M/D = V
(327g)/(1.05g/ml) is the equation. Grams cancel and you’re stuck with 311.428571mL. That isn’t your answer tho, because that isn’t the right amount of sig figs. We have two figs at the least so the right answer would be 311.42 or 311.43mL. We want it in scientific notation, so move the decimal place between 3 and 1. That’s two spots to the left, so the power would be 2. C is your right answer

My chem professor told me to round to even instead of rounding up all the time. Either way, the hundreds place is always a percent error of plus or minus 0.01
