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
Answer:
40 items
Step-by-step explanation:
I used the equation 1.5x+50=2.75x to find the answer. If the school were to buy 40 items from either truck, they would both amount to 110.
X is equal to -11/6 or -1.8333333333..................................
