Answer: x ≈ 18 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use our trig knowledge to solve this.
The man is standing 10 ft away, but we also need to add the 5 ft shadow as well as that is a point on our triangle.
We can set up a simple trig equation of: tan(50) = x/15
x being the height of the lamppost.
Now we solve.
tan(50) = 1.1918
1.1918 *15 = x
x = 17.876
Now round to the nearest foot.
x ≈ 18 ft
X^2=16
x= 4 OR x=-4
The picture attached below is your answer because it’s between 4 and -4.
The answer is 3500 meters.
1 km = 1000 meters. This means that 3.5 x 1000 = 3500
5000+300+70 expanded form
5370 number form
