Answer: The trucker traveled for 12 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A trucker traveled an average of 48.6 miles each hour on a 583.2-mile trip.

i.e. Total distance = 583.2 miles

Average speed = 48.6 miles per hour

Using Formula , $\text{Total Time}=\dfrac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Average speed}}$

We have

$\text{Total Time}=\dfrac{583.2}{48.6}\\\\=\dfrac{5832}{486}\\\\=12\text{ hours}$

Hence, the trucker traveled for 12 hours.

At 3pm, the length of the shadow of a thin vertical pole standing on level ground is the same as the height of the pole. A while

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The height of the pole is 175.97 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the pole is x cm,

Also, let the angle of elevation of the sun to the pole at 3 pm is $\theta$

Thus, by the question,

$tan\theta = \frac{\text{ The height of the pole}}{\text{ The height of the shadow}}$

$\implies tan\theta = \frac{x}{x}$ ( at 3pm the height of shadow = height of the pole)

$\implies tan\theta = 1$

$\implies \theta = 45^{\circ}$

Again, according to the question,

When the angle of elevation is $(\theta - 12^{\circ})$ ,

The height of shadow = x + 95,

$\implies tan(45-12)^{\circ}=\frac{x}{x+95}$

$\implies tan 33^{\circ}=\frac{x}{x+95}$

$\implies tan 33^{\circ}x + 95\times tan33^{\circ}=x$

$\implies tan 33^{\circ}x - x = - 95\times tan33^{\circ}$

$\implies -0.3505924068 x = - 61.6937213538$

$x=175.969930202\approx 175.97\text{ cm}$

Find the value of x ?

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

x = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

add all terms and set sum equal to 360

the 'hint' of (n-2)180 determines how many degrees there are inside the polygon; if 'n' equals the number of sides and the polygon has 4 sides then sum of interior angles is (4-2)180 or 2x180 which is 360

x + 10 + 3x + x + 2x = 360

combine like terms to get: 7x + 10 = 360

7x = 350

x = 50

What value is added to both sides of the equation x2 − 8x = −10 in order to solve by completing the square?−816−44?

Artyom0805 [142]

Do you see -8x?

Take half of -8 and square it.

So, (-8)/2 = -4.

(-4)^2 = 16

Now add 16 to both sides.
