The distance to the top of the building above the range finder can be found from the Pythagorean theorem.
.. d = √(115² -89²) ≈ 72.8 . . . . feet
Adding the height of the range finder, we find the height of the building to be
.. h = d+3 = 75.8 ft
Answer:
The answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
That side with the 5 is equal to 7.071067812.... (irrational number)
To get x you need to use the equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2
A^2 and B^2 will both be the same thing. The red line indicates they are the exact same length.
7.071037812.... ^2 is 50
Now your equation would be 50+50= c^2 (which is the same as x^2)
100= c^2 is simplified by finding the square root of 100.
Your answer is 10 for side X because the square root of 100 is 10.
This problem was solved using the Pythagorean Theorem.
five to the second power is 5x5 which is 25.
two to the fifth power is 2x2x2x2x2 which is 32.
