Answer:

k = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Substitute the point (2,-1) into the given equation 5x+ky=12. The first number is 2, the x-value. The second number is -1, the y-value.

5x + ky = 12

5(2) + k(-1) = 12

2. Simplify

5(2) + k(-1) = 12

10 + (-k) = 12

10 - k = 12

2. Isolate k

10 - k = 12

-k = 12-10

-k = 2   <= here multiply both sides by (-1)

k = -2

The angle looking up at the sun is 70°. A flagpole casts a shadow of 15 ft. Draw a diagram and find the height of the flagpole
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The length of the flagpole be 41.2 ft .

Option (A) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The angle looking up at the sun is 70°.

A flagpole casts a shadow of 15 ft .

Now by using the trignometric identity .

tan \theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

\ theta = 70^{\circ}

tan\ 70^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{BC}

BC = 15 ft

tan 70° = 2.75 (Approx)

2.75 = \frac{AB}{15}

AB = 2.75 × 15

     = 41.2 ft

Therefore the length of the flagpole be 41.2 ft .

Option (A) is correct .

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

B) 131°

Step-by-step explanation:

-4a + 139 = 4a + 123 because they are vertical angles

-4a + 139 = 4a + 123

reduce:

8a = 16

a = 2

4(2) + 123 = 131°
