Since the triangle has a right angle, we can conclude that the diagram is of a right triangle.

When dealing with right triangles, there are some useful formulas that are known as 'Trigonometric Identities'. There are a lot of them but we will need only one of those to solve the problem, that's the equation below:

\tan (\theta)=\frac{O}{A}

Where θ is the angle, O is the length of the opposite side to the angle, and A the adjacent side to the angle.

Therefore, in the case of our problem,

\begin{gathered} \theta=x,O=30ft,A=12ft \\ \Rightarrow\tan (x)=\frac{30}{12}=2.5 \end{gathered}

Solving for x, we get

x=\tan ^{-1}(2.5)=1.1902\text{rad}

And we can transform radians into degrees,

\Rightarrow x\approx68.2

Thus, the answer is the third option. 68.2°

Solve the following system: y = x 3 4x y = 18 (6, 3) (3, 6) (â’3, 6) (3, â’6).
Nastasia [14]

The solution of the given equation is (3,6). The correct option is B.(3,6)

<h3>Given equations,</h3>

y=x+3.......(1)\\4x+y=18.....(2)

<h3>How to solve the equations?</h3>

putting the value of y from equation (1) in equation (2) , we get

4x+x+3=18\\5x=18-3\\5x=15\\x=3

substitute the value of x=3 in equation (1) we get,

y=3+3\\y=6

Hence, the solution of given equation is (3,6).

So, the correct option is B.
