Answer:
10.3
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle can be solved from one side and two angles by using the angle sum theorem to find the third angle, then using the Law of Sines to find the remaining sides.
The angle at T is ...
180° - 119° -36° = 25°
The law of sines tells us side s will be ...
s/sin(S) = t/sin(T)
s = sin(119°)×5/sin(25°) . . . . multiply by sin(S)
s ≈ 10.34763
s ≈ 10.3

<em>Additional comment</em>
u/sinU = t/sin(T)
u = sin(36°)×5/sin(25°) ≈ 6.95409
Answer:
<em>The height of the bullding is 717 ft</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Right Triangles</u>
The trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent, etc.) are defined as relations between the triangle's side lengths.
The tangent ratio for an internal angle A is:
The image below shows the situation where Ms. M wanted to estimate the height of the Republic Plaza building in downtown Denver.
The angle A is given by his phone's app as A= 82° and the distance from her location and the building is 100 ft. The angle formed by the building and the ground is 90°, thus the tangent ratio must be satisfied. The distance h is the opposite leg to angle A and 100 ft is the adjacent leg, thus:
Solving for h:
Computing:
h = 711.5 ft
We must add the height of Ms, M's eyes. The height of the building is
711.5 ft + 5 ft = 716.5 ft
The height of the building is 717 ft
