use formula^: a²-b²= (a-b)(a+b)
x²-1=0
x²-1²=0
(x-1)(x+1)=0
x-1=0⇒ x₁=-1
x+1=0 ⇒x₂=1
Answer: x=+-1

The length of a shadow of a tree is 9 ft. The distance from the top of the tree to the tip of the shadow is 16 ft. what is the h

Margarita [4]

So for this, you'll be using the pythagorean theorem to solve for the height.

$9^2+b^2=16^2$

Solve the exponents to get $81+b^2=256$

Subtract 81 on each side to get $b^2=175$

Square root each side, and your answer should be $b= \sqrt{175}$ or 13.23 ft

Needs help answering

Savatey [412]

Answer:

b = 100°

c = 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

b = 100° bc the two angles are supplementary, that is, together they form a straight angle and add up to 180°.

c = 30°

because a + b + c = 180. There's 180° in a triangle.
