The height of the chimney above the floor of the observation deck is 52.4 ft

Two right angle triangle will be formed.

<h3>Right angle triangle:</h3>

Right angle triangle are triangle that has one of its angle as 90 degrees.

Therefore, using trigonometric ratio,

adjacent side = distance of observer from the bottom edge of the Delaware River drawbridge observation deck

Therefore,

tan 40 = opposite / adjacent

Where

x = height of the observer to the top of the observation deck

tan 40 = x / 200

x = 200 tan 40

x = 167.819926235

x = 167.82 ft

tan 30 = opposite / adjacent

y = height of the observer to the bottom of the observation deck

tan 30 = y / 200

y = 200 tan 30

y = 115.470053838

y = 115.47 ft

The height of the chimney above the floor of the observation deck = height of the observer to the top of the observation deck - height of the observer to the bottom of the observation deck

The height of the chimney above the floor of the observation deck = 167.82 - 115.47 = 52.35 ft

Angles that form a linear pair add up to 180 degrees.

If the measure of angle 1 is 113, then all we must do is subtract:

180-113=67 degrees

And we're done!

Good luck! :)

Hope it helps you!

We have
 -2x-3y <12
 For this case what you should do is to graph the following straight line:
 -2x-3y = 12
 Then, the solution will be the shaded region that satisfies the following inequality:
 -2x-3y <12
 In the shaded region you will find all the solution points.
