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.

Quadrilateral CAMP below is a rhombus. The length of PQ is (x + 2) units, and the length of QA is
Phoenix [80]

Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles.

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

As given by the statement in the problem,

Q may be the middle point, which cut the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves.

In rhombus, diagonals meet at right angles.

which means that PQ = QA

x+2 = 3x - 14

Grouping the terms, we will get,

3x -x = 14+ 2

2x = 16

dividing by 2 on both sides, we will get,

x = 16/2 = 8

8+2 = 3(8) - 14 = 10 = PQ or QA

In a right triangle, the acute angles measure 2x+50 and 3x degrees
xenn [34]
2x+50 + 3x= 90 degrees
5x +50 = 90
5x =40
x=8

Angle1= 2(8) +50= 66
Angle2= 3(8)=24

66+24+90= 180

Is there anybody who can help me with this question?please
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

the people would save 12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a right triangle that has 45,45,90 angles, Than two side lengths would be the same, so there are two 30 meter side lengths. The path is 48 meters long, and the road would be 60 meters long (30+30), so you subtract 48 from 60, and get 12. You would save 12 meters

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that satisfies the following condition.passes through (20, 1), parallel t
Dmitrij [34]

Slope-intercept form:  y = mx + b  

(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)

For lines to be parallel, they have to have the same slope.

y = 6x + 6    The slope of this line is 6, so the parallel line's slope is also 6.

Now that you know m = 6, substitute/plug it into the equation:

y = mx + b         Plug in 6 for "m" in the equation  

y = 6x + b     To find "b", plug in the point (20, 1) into the equation

1 = 6(20) + b

1 = 120 + b       Subtract 120 on both sides to get "b" by itself

1 - 120 = 120 - 120 + b

-119 = b         Now that you know b = -119, plug it into the equation

y = 6x - 119
