What is the solution of the system?

1 answer:

8 0

Subsitution

solve for y in first equation
add 2x to both sides
y=2x+8
sub 2x+8 for y in second equation
16+4x=2(2x+8)
divide both sides by 2
8+2x=2x+8
true
there are infinite solutions for x
therefor infinite soltions for y

there are an infinite number of solutions

The sun shines at a 30° angle to the ground. To the nearest inch, how long is the shadow cast by a 72-in. tall fence post?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The length of the shadow is 124.7 in

Explanation:

Given:

Angle, θ = 30°

Height of the fence, h = 72 in

Length of the shadow, l = ?

Given:

tan 30° = $\frac{perpendicular}{base} = \frac{height of the fence}{length of the shadow}$
