Step-by-step answer:
The first step in solving a problem of geometry and trigonometry is to draw a diagram, with all the given information in it. The attached image does just that.
Here, we have (horizontal) distance of building to the tower is 400'.
We see two right triangles, each with a leg of 400' (horizontal).
The vertical distances are denoted h1 and h2 for the angles of elevation 24 and 20 degrees respectively.
Using the definition of tangent, we have
h1= 400tan24=178.1
h2=400tan20=145.6
The height of the tower is therefore h1+h2=178.1+145.6=323.7 feet

Answer:
18 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The map distance and ground distance are proportional.
(distance to school)/(3 in) = (12 miles)/(2 in)
Multiplying by 3 in gives ...
distance to school = (12 miles)(3/2) = 18 miles
Answer:
The coordinates of E are 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle ABC represents a right triangle as both sides AB and AC are orthogonal to each other. The side AB is in the y axis, whereas the side AC is in the x axis. The triangle is dilated with respect to the origin, in which point A is set.
Vectorially speaking, dilation is defined by the following operation:
![P'(x,y) = O(x,y) + k\cdot [P(x,y) - O(x,y)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%27%28x%2Cy%29%20%3D%20O%28x%2Cy%29%20%2B%20k%5Ccdot%20%5BP%28x%2Cy%29%20-%20O%28x%2Cy%29%5D)
(1)
Where:
- Point of reference.
- Original point.
- Dilated point.
- Dilation factor.
By applying this operation, point B becomes point D:
, 
![D(x,y) = (0,0) + k\cdot [(0,4)- (0,0)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=D%28x%2Cy%29%20%3D%20%280%2C0%29%20%2B%20k%5Ccdot%20%5B%280%2C4%29-%20%280%2C0%29%5D)
Lastly, we transform point C into point E by applying the same operation: 
, 
and
![E(x,y) = (0,0) + \frac{3}{2}\cdot [(3,0)-(0,0)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%28x%2Cy%29%20%3D%20%280%2C0%29%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%5Ccdot%20%5B%283%2C0%29-%280%2C0%29%5D)
The coordinates of E are .
Answer:
I don't know the answer to the first one, but the second one's answer is 8.625
Step-by-step explanation:
1.5*2.5 + 1.5*2.5 + (1.5*1/5)/2 = 3.75 + 3.75 + 2.25/2 =
7.5 + 1.125 = 8.625
