Answer:

x = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4x-5=x

Subtract 3/4x from each side

3/4x - 3/4x -5=x-3/4x

3/4x - 3/4x -5=4/4x-3/4x

-5 = 1/4x

Multiply each side by 4

4 * -5 = 1/4x * 4

-20 =x

A woman standing on a hill sees a flagpole that she knows is 65 ft tall. The angle of depression to the bottom of the pole is 14

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Let the distance between woman and pole be "x".

From diagram,

In ΔOAB,

tan 18 = $\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

tan 18 = $\frac{65 -y}{x}$

∴ x = $\frac{65 -y}{tan 18}$ ................ (1)

In ΔOBC

tan 14 = $\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

tan 14 = $\frac{y}{x}$

y = x × tan 14 ..............(2)

equating (2) in (1), we get;

x = $\frac{65}{tan 18 + tan 14}$

x = $\frac{65}{0.574}$

∵ tan 18 + tan 14 = 0.574

<em>i.e. The her distance from the pole is 113.2 ft.</em>
