Answer:
1. X= 25.9 meters
2.X= 21.3 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Tan 50°= X/21
2. Tan 12°= X/100
<span>The
graph of y against x in inverse proportion is a rectangular hyperbola
but I don't see at all how this knowledge/observation is any help in
solving the problem.
Inverse proportion means that as x doubles y will halve and the equation
is xy = k where k is some number. A good example of inverse proportion
is speed and time taken over some fixed distance. In this case x could
represent the speed (mph) and y the time (h) and then k is the distance
in miles.
Since we know y=3 when x=2 we have xy = 6. Now it's easy to see when x=6 y=1.</span>
