Jill is standing at the base of her apartment building. She measures the angle of elevation to the top of a nearby tower to be 4

0º. Then Jill goes to the roof of her apartment building, directly above her previous position, and measures the angle of elevation to the top of the same tower to be 30°. If the height of the tower is 100 meters, the height of Jill's apartment building is

1) From the measure of 40°, you can write:

tan(40°) = 100/x, where x is the base from the building to the tower

⇒x=100/tan(40°) = 119,18 m

2) From the measure of 30°, you can write

tan(30°) = y / 119,18, where y is the height from the roof of Jill's building to the top of the tower.

Then, y = tan(30°) * 119,18 = 68,81 m

3) The height of Jill's building is 100 - 68,81 = 31,19 m

Answer:

Its 31.2

Step-by-step explanation:

@Edufirst Check Your Work ("," ".")

x = 100/tan 40 = 100/0.8391 = 119.18 meters

y = 119.18 x tan 30 = 68.8 meters

100 - 68.8 = 31.2 meters

Given rectangular prism ABCD. Choose all of the terms that best describe each of the sets of lines or points. Points D, G and J
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Two points are collinear when they lie on the same line. Points are collinear but not lines. Rather when two lines lie on the same plane we say they are coplanar.

Hence, line AB and CD are NOT collinear, so they are noncollinear and they are coplanar.

Two or more lines are said to be intersecting, when the lines meet at some point, when lines are not intersecting they are said to be parallel.

Recall that one of the properties of a rectangle is that opposite sides are parallel.

Notice that line AB and CB are the opposite sides of the rectangle ABCD.

Thus, line AB and CD are not intersecting but are parallel.

Therefore, the terms that best describe lines AB and CD are  

parallel  

noncollinear  

coplanar

Ann, Emily, and Bob collect stickers. They have a total of 70 stickers in the ratio 2:3:5, respectively. How many stickers does
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The stickers are divided by groups of

2/10, 3/10 and 5/10

2/10 * 70 = 14

3/10 * 70 = 21

5/10 * 70 = 35

14 + 21 + 35 = 70

So, the stickers are allotted to the 3 children in a group of

14 to one child, 21 to another child, and 35 to the third child.
