Answer:
56.4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent of the angle relates the opposite side (height above the window) to the adjacent side (distance between buildings) in the right triangle that models this geometry.
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(35°) = (height above window)/(distance between buildings)
height above window = (52 ft)tan(35°) ≈ 36.4 ft
Added to the window height of 20 ft, the height of the other building is ...
20 ft + 36.4 ft = 56.4 ft
Tan^2x + 1 + tanx - 3 = 0 tan^2x + tanx - 2 = 0 (tanx + 2)(tanx - 1) = 0 tanx = -2 or tanx = 1 x = 2.034 radians or x = 5.176 radians or x = pi/4 radians or x = 5pi/4 radians
We have a right triangle with
a = one leg = 28
b = other leg = 21
c = hypotenuse = 5x
use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2 = c^2) and solve for x
a^2+b^2 = c^2
28^2+21^2 = (5x)^2
784+441 = 25x^2
1225 = 25x^2
25x^2 = 1225
(25x^2)/25 = 1225/25
x^2 = 49
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(49)
|x| = 7
x = 7 or x = -7
Since the hypotenuse has length 5x meters, this means
5x = 5*7 = 35
or
5x = 5(-7) = -35
Toss out the negative length as it makes no sense.
The only value of x is x = 7
Therefore the final answer is x = 7
Answer:
a = 15
b = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to solve the system of linear equations
Firstly, let us multiply the first equation through by 10
2a - 5b = 100 ••••(i)
from the second equation;
a = 29 + b
Substitute this into i
2(29 + b) - 5b = 100
58 + 2b -5b = 100
-3b = 100-58
3b = 42
-b = 42/3
-b = 14
recall;
a - b = 29
a - (-14) = 29
a + 14 = 29
a = 29-14 = 15
