I believe the answer is 6
The right triangle with angle 45 ° has adjacent leg 9 feet
So the opposite leg is calculated from
tan 45 = opposite leg / adjacent leg ⇒ adjacent leg = 9 tan 45 = 9.
That is the distance bc.
The right triangle with angle 60° has adjacent leg 9 and opposite leg (x+9), where x is the distance ab.
Then tan(60) = (x+9) / 9 ⇒x+9 = 9 tan(60)
x + 9 = 15.59
x = 15.59 - 9 = 6.59
Answer: 6.59 feet
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a composite function, in which we will first evaluate the s function at a value of 2, then we will use that value in the t function.
s(2) = 5(2)+ 5 so
s(2) = 15. Now we evaluate the t function at 15:
t(15) = 3(15) + 4 so
t(15) = 49
