Hello,
8/(x-7)=7/2
==>(x-7)*7=8*2
==>7x-49=16
==>7x=65
==> x =9+2/7
Answser A
Let AB = t. And since X lies in the middle, so AX=BX = t/2 .
Let the height of the smaller flagpole is AO and of larger flagpole is BP .
Using tangent ratio rule in each triangle, we will get

And there ratio is

It is going robe f help me ?
Answer:
30.96375653
Step-by-step explanation:
if using a calculator, type in;
shift tan (3/5)
so basically shift tan (0.6)
bracket is important
if writing;
tan^-1 (0.6) = 30.96375653
Check the picture below.
that's the line of x = 12, just a straight vertical line, notice the green line, that's parallel to it, and the red line, that's perpendicular to it.
let's pick two points for each to get their slopes, hmm say for the green one (5,2) and (5,4)

and for the red one hmmm (3,2) and (7,2)
