Answer:

10.07 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the angle of elevation is 40° and the boy is 12 meters from the building.

This means that in order to figure out the height of the building, we must use the tangent function which states that tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}.

The opposite side in this case is the height of the building in relation to the angle and the adjacent side is the distance the boy is away from the building.

Therefore, we can find the height of the building by plugging in our known information and solving for the opposite side:

tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan(40^\circ)=\frac{x}{12}

12tan(40^\circ)=x

x=12tan(40^\circ)

x\approx10.07

Therefore, the height of the building is approximately 10.07 meters.

Four resistors are connected in series such that their total resistance is 50ohm . If the resistance of resistors is 5 ohm , 10o
Katyanochek1 [597]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

\boxed{R_{4}=20\Omega}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

If resistors are in series, so the current  I is the same in all of them. In this problem we have four resistors. So, we can get a relationship between the Equivalent resistance  of series combination and the four resistors as follows:

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}+R_{3}+R_{4}

R_{eq} is the total resistance 50\Omega. Moreover:

R_{1}=5\Omega \\ R_{2}=10\Omega \\ R_{3}=15\Omega

Therefore:

50=5+10+15+R_{4} \\ \\ R_{4}=50-(5+10+15) \\ \\ R_{4}=50-30 \\ \\ \boxed{R_{4}=20\Omega}

Please any help is necessary
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Option D. 50 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of three rectangles

so

A=18x+(48-36)(32-11)+(18)(32)

A=18x+(12)(21)+(18)(32)\\A=18x+828

Remember that the area is given

A= 1,728\ ft^2

so

18x+828=1,728

solve for x

18x=1,728-828\\18x=900\\x=50\ ft
