Answer:

2.5477 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the image attached to understand my solution.

BC = height of lamppost.

DE = Julia

AD = shadow of Julia

BD = 2 feet.      AD = 5 feet

BA = BD + AD

       = 2 + 5 = 7 feet

In ΔABC

tan 20° = \frac{BC}{BA}  = \frac{BC}{7}

BC = 7 * tan 20°

BC = 2.5477 feet

SO the height of lamppost = 2.5477 feet

Check the picture below.

well, since the triangle is an isosceles, with twin sides and twin angles at the "base", let's check what the angle at R is, 15(7) - 31 = 74, and her twin sister at T is also 74, that means that the angle at S is 180 - 74 - 74 = 32.

What is the solution to the equation 5 + b = 18?<br> F b= 5<br> H b= 13<br> Gb=8<br> Jb= 23
Scrat [10]

Answer:

H) B= 13

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>5 + b = 18</em>

<em>F) 5 + 5 = 10 so not equal to 18. It is not a solution</em>

<em>H) 5 + 13 = 18 it's equal . so it is the solution</em>

<em>G) 5 + 8 = 13  so not equal to 18. It is not a solution</em>

<em>J)  5 + 23 = 28  so not equal to 18. It is not a solution</em>

Solve the system of equations.
Slav-nsk [51]
13x - 6y = 2......multiply by 2
3x - 4y = -10....multiply by -3
------------------
26x - 12y = 4 (result of multiplying by 2)
-9x + 12y = 30 (result of multiplying by -3)
-----------------add
17x = 34
x = 34/17
x = 2

now sub 2 in for x into either of the original equations to find y
3x - 4y = -10
3(2) - 4y = -10
6 - 4y = -10
6 + 10 = 4y
16 = 4y
16/4 = y
4 = y

solution is (2,4)
