Answer: From the 60° angle, the flagpole is the opposite side and the shadow is the adjacent side of the triangle.
tangent 60° = opposite/adjacent
so
tan 60° = 20/x
multiply both sides by x and you have
x · tan60° = 20
divide both sides by tan 60° and you have
x = 20/tan60°
x = 11.5 ft.
if this is wrong sorry don’t be mad but if it’s right then hope this helps
Answer:
x + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since I don't know what this number is, I'm going to use the variable x to substitute for the value of the unknown number.
So it would just be x + 15 because addition is the operation of adding and the key words are usually more. Since one of the numbers is unknown, we can't get an answer like "100" because x is undefined.
Say x=100, then the number would be written as 115 in it's simplest form but you could also write it as 100+15. So I'm just using substitution.
