Answer: The height of the building = 56 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AB be the height of the building and BC be the distance of the car from the building on the ground.

Now , ∠ C = 32°   [Alternate interior angles ]

According to the trigonometry,

\tan x =\dfrac{Perpenicular}{base}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \tan 32^{\circ} =\dfrac{AB}{90}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.6248693519=\dfrac{AB}{90}\\\\\Rightarrow\ AB = 90\times 0.6248693519=56.238241671\approx56

Hence, the height of the building = 56 feet.

Solve 3(x - 2) < 18
vladimir2022 [97]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{x < 8}

3(x - 2) < 18

Begin by dividing both sides by 3:

3(x - 2)/3 < 18/3

x - 2 < 6

Add 2 to both sides:

x - 2 + 2 < 6 + 2

x < 8

Three forces of 300 N in the direction of N30E, 400N in the direction of N60E and
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Split up each force into horizontal and vertical components.

• 300 N at N30°E :

(300 N) (cos(30°) i + sin(30°) j)

• 400 N at N60°E :

(400 N) (cos(60°) i + sin(60°) j)

• 500 N at N80°E :

(500 N) (cos(80°) i + sin(80°) j)

The resultant force is the sum of these forces,

∑ F = (300 cos(30°) + 400 cos(60°) + 500 cos(80°)) i

… … …  + (300 sin(30°) + 400 sin(60°) + 500 sin(80°)) j N

∑ F ≈ (546.632 i + 988.814 j) N

so ∑ F has a magnitude of approximately 1129.85 N and points in the direction of approximately N61.0655°E.

Answer:

The answer is 166.666667

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so we need to find the number that we devide 20 to get 0.12 or 12% what I did was I put x as a varabile so

20/x=0.12

20=0.12x

20/0.12=x

x=166.666667
