Answer:

172.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use similar triangles and a proportion.

(tree height)/(tree shadow length) = (your height)/(your shadow length)

x/(270 ft)= (5 ft 9 in.)/(9 ft)

x/(270 ft)= (5 ft + 9/12 ft)/(9 ft)

x/(270 ft)= (5.75 ft)/(9 ft)

9x = 270 * 5.75 ft

x = 30 * 5.75 ft

x = 172.5 ft

Question 4) Identify the surface area of the composite figure.​
nignag [31]

The surface area of the composite figure is 714 sq. in.

<h3>What is formula of surface area of cube ?</h3>

Let, a be the edge of the cube.

Then, surface area of the cube = 6a² square unit

<h3>What is formula of surface area of cuboid ?</h3>

Let, length of the cuboid = l unit

Width of the cuboid = w unit

Height of the cuboid = h unit

Then, surface area of the cuboid = 2(lw+lh+hw) square unit

<h3>What is the required surface area ?</h3>

Given, edge of cube = 4 in.

∴ Surface area of cube = (6×4²) sq. in. = 96 sq. in.

Now, given, length of cuboid = 15 in.

Width of the cuboid = 10 in. & height of the cuboid = 7 in.

∴ Surface area of the cuboid = 2{(15×10)+(15×7)+(10×7)} sq. in.

                                                = 2{150+105+70} sq. in.

                                                = 2{325} sq. in. = 650 sq. in.

Here, we have to find the surface area of the composite figure.

We have to subtract the surface area from both of cube & cuboid, where they are attached.In that case, we have to subtract (4×4) from both.

So, we have to subtract 2(4×4) sq. in. = 32 sq. in.

∴ The surface area of the composite figure = (650+96-32) sq. in.

                                                                        = 714 sq. in.

A point on the ground is 50 feet from my house. The angle of elevation to the top of the house is 48∘. Find the height of the ho
Mumz [18]

Answer:

55.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the scenario is attached in the form of a picture

We have to find h.

We will use the trigonometric ratio of tan to find the height of the house.

tan\ 48 = \frac{h}{50}\\ 1.1106*50=h\\55.53=h

Hence the height of the house is 55.53 feet

Rounding off to nearest 10th

height = 55.5 feet ..
