Answer:

X/10 and 6/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know how talk the pole is so that is X. The shadow of the pole is 10 feet so that is the denominator. The man is 6 feet tall so that is the numerator of the second fraction. The denominator is 2 because that's how long his shadow is.

What is the value of x in the nearest whole number​
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate x we must use the trig function of tangent:

as tangent is opposite divides by adjacent we can get this equation:

\tan 30 = \frac{9}{x} which is equal to:

x=\frac{9}{\tan 30} So x must equal to 15.588.. (just put the second bit in the calculator

As all the values provided are integers you round this to the nearest whole number:

16 (as the third digit, 5, rounds up)

so our answer is 16

If x^2 -7x=30 and x>0, what is the value of x-5
laila [671]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-7x=30

x^2-7x-30=0

a = 1, b = -7, c = -30

sqrt(b^2-4ac)

sqrt(49+120)

sqrt(169)

13

-b +/- 13

7 + 13 = 20

7 - 13 = -6

2a = 2

20/2 = 10

-6/2 = -3

we know x>0, so it cant be -3. so now its just 10 - 5
