The crane is 139.8cm tall.

<h3>what is angle of elevation?</h3>

The angle formed by the line of sight and the horizontal plane for an object above the horizontal.

Using Trigonometry

tan 30 = h/y

1/√3 = h/y

y= h√3

and, tan 25= h/y+62

0.96= h/(h√3 +62)

h= 0..96 (h√3 +62)

h= 0.96*h*1.732+0.96*62

h=0.796h +28.52

0.2404h= 28.52

h= 139.8 cm

Hence, whooping crane is 139.8 cm.

The measures of two supplementary angles total 180 degrees. The measure of angle y is 65 degrees less than the measure of angle

iVinArrow [24]

The measures of the angles are given to be x and y. Since y is 65 degrees less than the measure of angle x then, it can also be expressed as x - 65. The sum of the angles x and y should be 180 degrees as they are supplementary angles,
x + y = 180
x + (x - 65) = 180
The value of x is 122.5 and that of y is 57.5. Therefore, the measures of the angles are 122.5 and 57.5.

What are the real or imaginary solutions of the polynomial x^4-3x^2=-2x

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

x = 0 or 1 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{4} -3x^{2} +2x=0$

x(x^3-3x+2)=0

x(x-1)^2 * (x+2)0

so x = 0 or 1 or -2

there is no imaginary solutions

The triangles below are similar. Find x showing the proportion and all work.

zavuch27 [327]

we are given that

two triangles are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be same

we get

$\frac{2}{6} =\frac{x}{x+2}$

now, we can solve for x

step-1: Cross multiply both sides

$2(x+2) =6x$

step-2: Simplify left side

$2x +4 =6x$

step-3: Subtract both sides by 2x

$2x +4-2x =6x-2x$

$4 =4x$

step-4: Divide both sides by 4

$x=1$

so,

$x=1$ ............Answer

Our math team had m students last year, but this year it has already n students! By what percent did the number of students grow

AlekseyPX

For this case we are going to assume the following:
m: whole number greater than zero.
n: integer greater than zero.
Where,
n> m
According to these assumptions, the percentage of growth is given by the following formula:
$(n / m) * 100 - 100$
Answer:
the number of students did grow by:
$(n / m) * 100 - 100$
