In reference to the angle of elevation (41 degrees), the adjacent side is 60 and the opposite side is the unknown.
Using tangent ratio:
tan 41 = opp/60
60 tan41 = opp
opp side = 52.2yards
LETTER B
The answer is 10 pairs of shoes.
The first ratio is 10:5. 10 socks per 5 pairs of shoes. You have 20 socks now instead of 10. You just double the ratio. 20 socks per 10 pairs of shoes. 20:10.
The two congruent base angles tell us that this is an isosceles triangle, meaning the triangle has two congruent sides. Therefore, we can set these two expressions equal to each other and solve from there.
15x + 7 = 23x - 17
7 = 8x - 17
8x = 24
x = 3
Side = 15(3) + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52
Hope this helps!
