If they're asking the distance between the tree and the man's shadow, that would be 12ft and if they're asking the distance between the tree and the actually man, that would be 15ft :).

Could the numbers 9,10,19 be a triangle
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

I wasn't sure if you meant centimeters, inches or degrees. But since I don't know, I'll answer all three.

Step-by-step explanation:

Centimeters- Possible

Inches- Possible (Extremely big. I suggest using a big whiteboard to draw out)

Degrees- Impossible (All degrees in a triangle have to add up to 180)

Answer the following.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

  1. 78.33°
  2. 71°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so ...

  (x +3)° +(x +24)° +(x -10)° = 180°

  3x +17 = 180 . . . . . . . . divide by °, collect terms

  3x = 163 . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 17

  x = 54 1/3 . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3

m∠B = (x +24)° = (54 1/3 + 24)°

m∠B ≈ 78.33°

__

2) An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.

  m∠ACD = m∠A + m∠B

  (3x -10)° = (x +9)° + 105°

  2x = 124 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, add 10-x to both sides

  x = 62 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

m∠A  = (x +9)° = (62 +9)°

m∠A = 71°
