Answer:
Height of the skyscraper = 230.07 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given triangle AB is a skyscraper that casts a shadow of 200 feet long.
If the angle of elevation of the sun is 49°
In the given right angle triangle ABC
tanC =
AB = 1.1504×200
= 230.07 feet
Therefore, the height of the skyscraper is 230.07 feet

First of all, a bit of theory: since the area of a square is given by
where s is the length of the square. So, if we invert this function we have
.
Moreover, the diagonal of a square cuts the square in two isosceles right triangles, whose legs are the sides, so the diagonal is the hypothenuse and it can be found by
So, the diagonal is the side length, multiplied by the square root of 2.
With that being said, your function could be something like this:
double diagonalFromArea(double area) {
double side = Math.sqrt(area);
double diagonal = side * Math.sqrt(2);
return diagonal;
}
we have
we know that
<u>The Rational Root Theorem</u> states that when a root 'x' is written as a fraction in lowest terms
p is an integer factor of the constant term, and q is an integer factor of the coefficient of the first monomial.
So
in this problem
the constant term is equal to
and the first monomial is equal to -----> coefficient is
So
possible values of p are
possible values of q are
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
The all potential rational roots of f(x) are
(+/-),(+/-)
,(+/-)
,(+/-)
,(+/-)
