Answer:
1) x = 25 2) x = 23; m∠CBD = 80 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 5x + 15 = 6x - 10 Set both equations equal to each other
- 5x - 5x Subtract 5x from both sides
15 = x - 10
+ 10 + 10 Add 10 to both sides
25 = x
2) 2x + 14 + x + 7 = 90 Set the equations equal to 90
3x + 21 = 90 Combine like terms
- 21 - 21 Subtract 21 on both sides
3x = 69 Divide both sides by 3
x = 23
Plug 23 into the equation
2(23) + 14 = 60
The Pythagorean theorem can be used for this.
.. (tip distance)² = (shadow length)² + (tree height)²
.. tree height = √((tip distance)² -(shadow length)²)
.. tree height = √((60 ft)² -(40 ft)²) = √(2000 ft²)
.. tree height ≈ 44.72 ft
