Kalei is 6ft tall and stands 10 feet from a tree. He measures an angle if elevation of 30° up to the coconuts on the tree. How h
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The total height of coconut Tree = H + 10ft = 11.77 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as,

The height of Kalei = 6ft

The distance of Kalei from the coconut Tree = 10 feet

Angle of elevation of kalei up to the coconut on tree = 30°

<u>Note : look at the pic attache </u>

From figure it is mention that

Total height of Tree = 6 ft + H

So, Tan 30° = \frac{perpendicular}{base}

     Tan 30° = \frac{H}{10}

    ∴ H         = 10 Tan 30° = 10 × 0.577         Note : tan 30° = 0.577

i.e    H         = 5.77 ft

Hence the total height of coconut tree = 6 + 5.77 = 11.77 ft   Answer

A<br> Solve for x. Write both solutions, separated by<br> comma.<br> 4x2 + 5x – 6= 0
Kamila [148]

Answer: x1 = -2, x2 = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2 + 5x -6 = 0

4x^2 + 8x -3x -6 = 0

4x(x+2)-3(x+2)=0

(x+2)(4x-3) = 0

x+2 = 0: x = -2

4x-3 = 0: x = 3/4

Use elimination to solve the system of equations:
tatyana61 [14]
<span><span><span><span>2x</span>+<span>3y</span></span>=1</span>;<span><span>x+<span>4y</span></span>=<span>−2

</span></span></span>Steps:

<span>Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.

</span><span>(<span><span><span>2x</span>+<span>3y</span></span>=1</span>)

</span><span><span>−2</span><span>(<span><span>x+<span>4y</span></span>=<span>−2</span></span>)

</span></span>Becomes:

<span><span><span>2x</span>+<span>3y</span></span>=1

</span><span><span><span>−<span>2x</span></span>−<span>8y</span></span>=4

</span>Add these equations to eliminate x:

<span><span>−<span>5y</span></span>=5

</span>Then solve<span><span>−<span>5y</span></span>=5</span>for y:

<span><span><span>−<span>5y</span></span><span>−5</span></span>=<span>5<span>−5</span></span></span>(Divide both sides by -5)

<span>y=<span>−1

</span></span>Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation:

<span><span><span>2x</span>+<span>3y</span></span>=1

</span>Substitute<span>−1</span>foryin<span><span><span><span>2x</span>+<span>3y</span></span>=1</span>:

</span><span><span><span>2x</span>+<span><span>(3)</span><span>(<span>−1</span>)</span></span></span>=1

</span><span><span><span>2x</span>−3</span>=1</span>(Simplify both sides of the equation)

<span><span><span><span>2x</span>−3</span>+3</span>=<span>1+3</span></span>(Add 3 to both sides)

<span><span>2x</span>=4

</span><span><span><span>2x</span>2</span>=<span>42</span></span>(Divide both sides by 2)

<span>x=2

</span>Answer:

<span><span>x=<span><span>2<span> and </span></span>y</span></span>=<span>−<span>1
