Answer:
15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude is one leg of the right triangle formed by the altitude, half the base, and the triangle side. The Pythagorean theorem applies, so you have ...
... (17 cm)² = (altitude)² + (16 cm/2)²
... altitude = √(17² -8²) cm = √225 cm
... altitude = 15 cm
Answer:
464 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The Sine of the angle of inclination gives the increase in altitude.</em>
<em>This is because the Sine of an angle is equal to the Opposite side divided by the Hypotenuse side. i.e</em>
Sin Ф = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse
Sin 5° = O ÷ 5328
0·08716 = O ÷ 5328
<em>Make </em>O<em> the subject and multiply every fraction by </em>5328
(0·08716/1 × 5328)= (O/5328 × 5328)
464·388 = O
∴ The increase in altitude is 464·388 feet
<em>This is supposed to be to the nearest foot so we round off</em>
464·388 becomes 464 feet
