First use Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length of the triangle with 10 and 6. So 10^2 - 6^2 will give you an answer. The square root that answer and use that answer along with the length of 15 to find x. It’ll be 15^2 + the previous result^2 = x^2. Square root whatever you get for x^2 and that’s your answer.

All real numbers. in interval notation, that's (−∞, ∞). there isn't a value you could insert for "x" that would give you an error.

A statue is mounted on top of a 21 foot hill. From the base of the hill to where you are standing is 57feet and the statue subte

AleksandrR [38]

Please find the attached diagram for a better understanding of the question.

As we can see from the diagram,

RQ = 21 feet = height of the hill

PQ = 57 feet = Distance between you and the base of the hill

SR= h=height of the statue

$\angle SPR$ =Angle subtended by the statue to where you are standing.

$\angle x=\angle RPQ$ = which is unknown.

Let us begin solving now. The first step is to find the angle $\angle x$ which can be found by using the following trigonometric ratio in $\Delta PQR$ :
