Answer:
When two triangles are congruent they will have exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles. The equal sides and angles may not be in the same position (if there is a turn or a flip), but they are there.
Answer; c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c = 17 inches
a = 8 inches
b^2 = c^2 – a^2
b^2 = 17^2 – 8^2
b^2 = 289 – 64
b^2 = 225
b = square root of 225
b = 15 inches ≈ c.
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
