see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos 56°=AC/AB
where
AC is the adjacent side to angle 56 degrees------> the distance from the surveyor to the building
AB is the hypotenuse-----> 148 ft 2 in
56 degrees------> is the angle of elevation
so
cos 56°=AC/AB---------> solve for AC
AC=AB*cos 56°
AB=148 ft 2 in
convert 2 in to ft
1 ft -----> 12 in
x ft------> 2 in
x=2/12-----> x=0.17 ft
AB=148 ft 2 in-----> 148 ft+0.17 ft------> AB=148.17 ft
AC=AB*cos 56°----> AC=148.17*cos 56°------> AC=82.86 ft
convert 0.86 ft to in
0.86 ft=0.86*12-----> 10.32 in
distance AB=82 ft 10 in
the answer is
the distance from the surveyor to the building is 82 ft 10 in
33cm
Because add all of them then subtract then do the parenthasees and you get 33
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Original Ratio = New Ratio All these problems are done the same way. Try to conquer the language.
The original ratio = 24 inches wide / 12 inches tall
Shawna's new ratio = you don't know / 2 inches in height (or tall)
Call what you don't know = x
24/12 = x / 2 Cross multiply
12 * x = 24 * 2 Combine the right
12 * x = 48 Divide by 12
12x/12 = 48/12
x = 4
So the new height is 4 inches.
I think this would be 4≥X<span>>-8
