Make use of the fact that side lengths in similar triangles are proportional.
.. 30/18 = (20 +x)/20
.. 20*(30/18) -20 = x . . . . multiply by 20, subtract 20
.. 33 1/3 -20 = x . . . . . . . . evaluate the product
.. 13 1/3 = x

Write a vector equation of the line that passes through P(4, 7) and is parallel to a = (3, 8).
love history [14]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

(x,y) = P + (a)t

(x,y) = (4,7) + t(3,8)

(x,y) - (4,7) = t(3,8)

(x-4, y-7) = t(3,8)

The Bungling Brothers Circus is in town and you are part of the crew that
Kipish [7]

Answer:

a. 80.83 ft b. 40.42 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = height of pole = 70 ft, L = length of cable and x = distance of cable on ground to pole and Ф = angle between cable and ground.

a) How long is the cable?

Since L, h and x form a right-angled triangle with angle Ф and h being the opposite side to Ф and L being the hypotenuse side, by trigonometric ratios,

sinФ = h/L

L = h/sinФ

L = 70 ft/sin60°

L = 70 ft/0.8660

L = 80.83 ft

b) How far from the pole should the cable be attached to the ground?

Since L, h and x form a right-angled triangle with angle Ф and h being the opposite side to Ф and x being the adjacent side, by trigonometric ratios,

tanФ = h/x

x = h/tanФ

x = 70 ft/tan60°

x = 70 ft/1.7321

x = 40.42 ft

Find the value of x!!!!!
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

96 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The 144 degrees is on a straight line, meaning the angle next to it inside the triangle and 144 are supplementary. They add up to 180 degrees.

Coincidentally, the other two angles plus the third, unlabeled angle will add up to 180 degrees as well, meaning that the the 48+x = 144 degrees (according the property of equality, which is if a=b and b=c, then a=c). Solve for x from there:

x = 144-48

x = 96

Which option shows a graph of 3y+18&gt;5x
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

3y+18 > 5x

The solution of the inequality is the shaded area above the dashed line

The equation of the dashed line is  3y+18=5x

The slope of the dashed line is positive (m=5/3)

The x-intercept of the dashed line is (3.6,0) (value of x when y is zero)

The y-intercept of the dashed line is (0,-6) (value of y when x is zero)

therefore

using a graphing tool

The graph in the attached figure
