Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+5y = 20

y = (-8/5)x + 4

slope of the line is -8/5.

slope of any perpendicular to the line is ⅝.

line of slope ⅝ that passes through P(4,5):

y-5 = ⅝(x-4)

y = ⅝x + 2.5

find intersection of lines

⅝x + 2.5 = (-8/5)x + 4

25x + 100 = -64x + 160

89x = 60

x = 60/89, y = 260/89

distance between (60/89, 260/89) and (4,5) = 3.92

Answer:

203 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let h represent the height of the building.

We have been given that at 3:30 in the afternoon in mid-September the Kimball Tower casts a shadow about 290 feet long when the sun's rays come down at an angle about 35 degrees above the horizontal.

We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle to its adjacent side.

$\text{tan}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}$

Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

$\text{tan}(35^{\circ})=\frac{h}{290}$

$290*\text{tan}(35^{\circ})=\frac{h}{290}*290$

$290*0.70020753821=h$

$h=290*0.70020753821$

$h=203.0601860809$

$h\approx 203$

Therefore, the building is approximately 203 feet high.
