<h3>Answer:  42.8 feet</h3>

Work Shown:

h = height of the building

h is opposite the reference angle (55)

the adjacent side is 30 feet

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(55) = h/30

h = 30*tan(55)

h = 42.84444 which is approximate

h = 42.8 feet

Factor 15z^2+17z-18 please show work
siniylev [52]

There is no common factor between 15, 17 and 18 because 17 is prime.  

15z² +17z - 18 =  

d = 17² - 4.15.-18  

d = 289 + 1080  

d = 1369  

z = (-17 +/- \/1369) : 2 * 15  

z = (-17 + 37) : 30  

z' = 20 : 30 = 2/3  

z" = (-17 - 37) : 30  

z" = -54 : 30 = -1.8
