Make Sense? In Exercises 56-59, determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. Use a quadratic equation to solve this problem. The width of a rectangular carpet is 7 meters shorter than the length, and the diagonal is 1 meter longer than the length. What are the carpet's dimensions?
From a point on level ground 30 yards from the base of a building, the angle of elevation to the top of the building is \(38.7^{\circ}\). Approximate the height of the building to the nearest foot.
In Exercises 15-20, find the measure of the complement and the supplement of each angle. \(52^{\circ}\)
In Exercises 21-24, use an algebraic equation to find the measures of the two angles described. Begin by letting \(x\) represent the degree measure of the angle's complement or its supplement. The measure of the angle is \(12^{\circ}\) greater than its complement.
