Asap the area of elevation to the top of a 10-story skyscraper is measured to be 3° from a point on the ground 2,000 feet from the building. what is the height of the skyscraper to the nearest hundredth foot? a. 285.09 feet b. 66.58 feet c. 104.67 feet d. 104.82 feet

I believe it's D, 104.82 feet.

Hello!

Let's think of this scenario as a triangle. This 3 degree angle is opposite from the building, and the adjacent side to this angle is 2,000 feet. We know that the tangent deals with opposite and adjacent side. Let's find it below.

tan3≈0.052

This gives us the equation below.

x/2,000=0.052

Now we solve. Let's multiply each side by 2,000.

x=104

As you can see, 104 is very close to both C and D. Instead of using 0.052, let's just use the exact tangent of 3. We multiply this by 2,000. By doing so, we get about 104.82.

Therefore, our answer is D) 104.82

I hope this helps!

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
