Answer:

389 feets apart

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Building A

Height = 400feets

Angle of elevation = 70°

Building B:

Height = 300 feets

Angle of elevation = 52°

Distance from the foot of building A to where Jonny is standing = x (see attached picture)

Using trigonometry :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan 70 = 400/ x

2.7474774x = 400

x = 145.58809 feets

Distance from the foot of building B to where Jonny is standing = y (see attached picture)

Using trigonometry :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan 52 = 300/ y

1.2799416y = 300

y = 145.59

y = 234.38568 feets

x + y = distance between the two buildings

(145.58809 + 234.38568) feets

= 379.97377

= 380 feets apart

What is the area of the figure?<br>​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

5.4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Figuring out the area of shapes like these are quite simple, you first have to break apart this shape to make solving this easier. If you draw a line and break off the triangle from the square you will get 2 different shapes. A square with all the sides being 2 inches, and a triangle that is 2 inches tall and 1.4 inches across (you subtract 3.4 by 2). Next you just use the equation (2 * 2) + ((1.4 * 2)/2). Multiply 2 by 2 (which is 4) and you get the area of the square (you multiply the base by the width). And for the triangle you multiple 1.4 by 2 (you get 2.8)... But because it's a triangle you have to divide that number by 2 since the triangle is half of a square. So 2.8 / 2 is going to be 1.4. After that you now have the equation 4 + 1.4 and the answer is going to be 5.4.

Iris wants to buy two necklaces, one for her sister and one for herself. The necklace for her sister costs $42.00, and the neckl
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$75.60

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total cost without tax:

42 + 28

= 70

Then, to find the price with sales tax, multiply this by 1.08:

70(1.08)

= 75.6

So, the total cost of her purchases was $75.60

Multiply the k and the 4 by 5
Now you have 5k+20-2k
Minus 2k from 5k
Now you have 3k+ 20 that’s the answer

Find the rectangular coordinates of (7, 150°)
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The coordinates are (-7sqrt(3)/2, 7/2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular coordinates from polar coordinates is found by:

x = r*cos(theta)

y = r*sin(theta)

Substituting the given values, we get:

x = 7*cos(150 deg) = 7*(-sqrt(3)/2) = -7sqrt(3)/2

y = 7*sin(150 deg) = 7*(1/2) = 7/2

The coordinates are (-7sqrt(3)/2, 7/2).

I hope this helps! :)
