The answer would be multiplication and subtraction
The correct answer is
the flagpole is <span>
33 feet high</span>.
Explanation:
Please refer to the attached picture.
We know:
CD = 40 feet
AC = 5 feet
∠BDC = α = 35°
Using trigonometry, we know that the definition of the tangent of an angle is the ratio between the opposite side and the adjacent side, therefore:
tan α = BC / CD
Solving for BC:
BC = CD · <span>tan α
= 40 </span>· tan (35)
= 28 feet
In order to find the height of the flagpole, we need to add the distance of the clinometer from the ground:
AB = BC + AC
= 28 + 5
= 33
Hence, the flagpole is
33 feet high.
Answer:75
Step-by-step explanation: Find the area of the triangle which is 1/2 base times height. The base is 9 while the height is 4+5+1 which is 10. 10 times 9 is 90 and half of 90 is 45. Then find the area of the rectangle which is length times width which is 5 times 3 which is 15. Then subtract 15 from 90 which gets you the answer 75.
