miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The scale of map -
1 inch on map is equal to 35 miles.
Distance measured by mike on map is equal to 5.5 inch
Actual distance represented by 5.5 inch of map distance is
miles
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
