Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let the horizontal distance be x
(17.8-1.5)/x = tan 38
or x = 16.3/tan38
or x = 20.863
The original square has the area (8 in)^2 = 64 in^2.
If we mult. this area by 36, we get the area of a larger square 2304 in^2.
The new side length is sqrt(2304 in^2), or 48. In other words, the original square has side length 8 in, but the 'new' square has side length 48 in.
3x + 7 = x
First, subtract 3x from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 7 = x - 3x
Second, simplify x - 3x to -2x. / Your problem should look like: 7 = -2x
Third, divide both sides by -2. / Your problem should look like:

= x
Fourth, simplify

to

/ Your problem should look like:

= x
Fifth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: x =

Answer as fraction:

Answer as decimal: -3.5
We have an inequation:
x/3 < 3
⇒ x < 3*3
⇒ x < 9
The final answer is x < 9~
