Answer: 25.2361459992ft

This question can be solved by a trigonometric equation. Shadow formed when something with height like a tree, so it can be pictured as a vertical line. Shadow is a length of and can be pictured as a horizontal line.  
In trigonometric, to find the vertical line length with horizontal line you need tan function. The sun angle will be used in the function, so the calculation would be: tan(31) x 42ft = 25.2361459992ft

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Please read the answer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's represent the relationship between red pepper flakes, in teaspoons, to tomato mix, in cups in a table

Red pepper (teaspoons)   1/2    1    1 1/2   2  2 1/2   3  3 1/2   4  4 1/2   5      

Tomato mix (cups)              2     4       6     8    10     12   14     16   18    20

2. Let's represent the relationship between red pepper flakes, in teaspoons, to tomato mix, in cups writing a equation:

t = amount of tomato mix cups

r = amount of red pepper flakes teaspoons

As we can see in the table,

<u>t = 4r</u>

Find x in the following diagram
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

x = 71

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a polygon is always 360°.

A triangle has 3 exterior angles.

152+ 137+x = 360

Combine like terms

289 +x = 360

Subtract 289 from each side

289-289+x=360-289

x = 71

18m^2

area of a trapezoid = (a+b)/2 * h, where a and b are bases 1 and 2, and h is height

(4+8)/2 * 3

= 12/2 * 3

= 6 * 3

= 18
