Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Check out the attached image for the drawing of how this would look. The drawing isn't 100% needed but it helps I think.
Based on the figure shown in the attachment, we have a right triangle with the adjacent leg of 80 (this leg is closest to the bottom 12 degree angle) and an opposite leg of h
In short,
adjacent = 80
opposite = h
We'll use the tangent rule
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(12) = h/80
80*tan(12) = h
h = 80*tan(12)
h = 17.0045249336018 <<-- see note below
So the lighthouse is roughly
17.0045249336018 meters tall
Answer: 17.0045249336018Note: Make sure you are in degree mode. The value is approximate. Round this answer however you need to
Answer:
x = 5 and value of y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
using substitution method
let;
x + 4y = 13...................... equation 1
x - y = 3............................... equation 2
from equation 2
x - y = 3.................................... eqn 2
x = y + 3.......................................... equation 3
put x = y + 3 in equation 1
x + 4y = 13...................... equation 1
y + 3 + 4y = 13
5y = 13 - 3
5y = 10
divide both sides by 5
i.e
5y/5 = 10/5
y = 2
sustitue for y = 2 in equation 3
x = y + 3.......................................... equation 3
x = 2 + 3
x = 5
therefore the value of x = 5 and value of y = 2
to check if your answwer is correct slot in the value of x and y in any of the equation . e.g
from equation 3
x = y + 3.......................................... equation 3
5= 2 + 3
5 =5....................... proved
