Answer:

The height of the Eiffel Tower will be 318 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please check the attached graph.

From the diagram, it is clear that Lizbeth is 5.5 ft tall, seeing the top from 318 feet away, making an angle of elevation to be 72⁰.

The diagram makes a right-angled triangle.

  • Given the angle = Ф = 72⁰
  • Adjacent = a = 5.5 ft
  • Opposite = b = 318 ft
  • Hypotenuse = the height of the Eiffel Tower = c ?

Pythagorean Theorem:

For a right-angled triangle, with sides 'a' and 'b', the hypotenuse 'c' is defined as:

c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}

  • a=5.5
  • b=318

c=\sqrt{5.5^2+318^2}

c=318 feet

Therefore, the height of the Eiffel Tower will be 318 feet.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Image result for The length of a rectangle is 3 more than five times its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 30 meters, find the dimensions of the rectangle.

To find the width, multiply the length that you have been given by 2, and subtract the result from the perimeter. You now have the total length for the remaining 2 sides. This number divided by 2 is the width.

gogolik [260]

Using the relation between velocity, distance and time, it is found that t = 3 hours.

<h3>What is the relation between velocity, distance and time?</h3>

Velocity is <u>distance divided by time</u>, hence:

v = \frac{d}{t}

For this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

d = 15 miles, v = 5 mph

Hence the time in hours is found as follows:

v = \frac{d}{t}

5 = \frac{15}{t}

5t = 15

t = 15/5

t = 3 hours.
