Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply
Divide by 39
Answer: 64
Step-by-step explanation:
If EFGH is a parallelogram, its diagonals bisect each other meaning EJ and JG are congruent.
EJ = JG
4w + 4 = 2w + 18
Subtract 2w from both sides
2w + 4 = 18
Subtract 4 from both sides
2w = 14
Divide both sides by 2
w = 7
EG = EJ + JG
EG = 4w + 4 + 2w + 18
EG = 6w + 22
Now that we know what 'w' is, we can substitute it for 7
EG = 6 (7) + 22
EG = 42 + 22 = 64
The measure of EG is 64.

Drawing a diagram of a triangle may be helpful. The hypotenuse is irrelevant, but the vertical leg and the horizontal leg are useful. Since we know the engineer is looking up at a 45 degree angle from a distance of 200 feet, we can label the vertical leg the "opposite", since it is on the opposite side of the angle we are given. The horizontal leg then becomes the "adjacent". You can then use trigonometry to solve for the opposite.
The options are:
sin(theta)= opposite/hypotenuse
cos(theta)= adjacent/hypotenuse
tan(theta)= opposite/adjacent
Since we don't care about the hypotenuse, the last equation is the one to use. The angle we are given can be substituted in for theta:
tan(45)= x/200
1.61977519= x/200
x= 323.955038 feet
