The problem says that <span>Brandon sights a helicopter above a building that is 200 feet away at an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. So, you can calculate the height asked, by following this procedure:
</span>
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
α=30°
Opposite leg=x
Adjacent leg=200 feet
When you substitute these values into the formula above (Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg), you have:
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
Tan(30°)=x/200
You must clear "x":
x=200xTan(30°)
Therefore, the value of "x" is:
x=115 feet
<span>
How high above the ground the is the helicopter?
The answer is: 115 feet</span>
Answer:
Area = 960 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter (P) = 2 (l + w)
P = 2l + 2w
Let the length be 5x
Let the width be 3x
From the question, P = 128.
Therefore:
128 = 2l + 2w
Divide both sides by 2.
l + w = 64
Recall we said:
l = 5x
w = 3x
So then:
5x + 3x = 64
8x = 64
Divide both sides by 8
x = 64/8
x = 8.
Since x = 8
Length = 5x = 5*8 = 40cm
Width =3x = 3 * 8 = 24cm
Area of a RECTANGLE:
Area = length * width
Area = 40 * 24
Area = 960 cm^2
