The wire, the pole and the segment joining the leg of the pole to the wire in the ground form a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the wire, and the side opposite to the angle 36° is the pole.

By right triangle trigonometry, sin36°=(opposite side)/(hypotenuse.)

Substituting, we have 0.588=(opposite side)/220, thus the length of the opposite side, which represents the length of the pole, is 

                                       0.588*220 ft=129.3 ft

7/2x+1/2x = 18+ 9/2x
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

x=-36

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the 7/2x +1/2x to be 8/2x which means that it'll be 4x=18=9/2

then subtract 9/2x on both sides so itll be

4x=18+\frac{9}{2} x

-9/2x       -9/2x

-\frac{1}{2} x=18   because if you do 8/2-9/2 it's -1/2

then multiply the reciprocal to both sides so

(\frac{2}{-1})(-\frac{1}{2}x)=(\frac{2}{-1})(18)

which then cancels out -1/2 and makes it

x=-36

Not sure if there is a question here. However, I'll assume you're looking for when it lands. It takes about 24.6 minutes to land.
