Answer:

132 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attachment for figure.

In smaller triangle with angle theta , we have ,

⇒ tanθ = p/b

⇒ tanθ = h/121m

⇒ tanθ = h/121 m

<u>In</u><u> </u><u>triangle</u><u> </u><u>with</u><u> </u><u>angle </u><u>9</u><u>0</u><u>-</u><u>∅</u>

⇒ tan(90-θ) = p/b

⇒ cot θ = h/144 m

Multiplying these two ,

=> tanθ . cotθ = h/121 m × h/144m

=> 1 = h²/ (121 m × 144m )

=> h² = 121m × 144m

=> h= √ ( 121m × 144m)

=> h = 11m × 12m

=> h = 132 m

Harman [31]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

If the radius is 5, then we can plug 5 into the area of a circle equation.

A = \pi r^{2}

A = \pi (5)^{2}

A = 25\pi

<u>The area of a circle with radius 5 is 25</u>\pi<u>.</u>

Answer:

  • a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Simplify:</u>

  • √5(√8 + √18) =
  • √5*8 + √5*18 =
  • √40 + √90 =
  • √4*10 + √9*10 =
  • 2√10 + 3√10 =
  • (2 + 3)√10 =
  • 5√10

<u>The value of a:</u>

  • a√10 = 5√10
  • a = 5

The measures of the angles of a triangle are in the extended ratio 4 : 5 : 6. What is the measure of the smallest angle?
anyanavicka [17]
<span>The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees
</span>
4x + 5x + 6x = 180
15x = 180
x = 180/15
x = 12

<span>The measure of the smallest angle = 4x = 4*12 = 48</span>°
