Answer:
30.1 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a school flag poll casts a 16 foot shadow on the lawn. A teacher stood at the shadows edge and measure the angle of elevation to the top of the poll at 62°. We are asked to find the height of the tall.
First of all, we will draw a diagram to represent our give scenario as shown in the attachment.
We can see that side length with 16 feet is adjacent side and height of the pole (h) is opposite side to angle of elevation.
We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle to its adjacent side.
Therefore, the poll is approximately 30.1 feet tall.
Answer:
17, 19, 21
Step-by-step explanation:
x = first number
x+2 = second number
x+4 = third number
4x + 3(x+2) + 2(x+4) = 167
simplify:
4x + 3x + 6 + 2x + 8 = 167
combine like terms:
9x + 14 = 167
subtract 14 from each side of the equation:
9x = 153
divide both sides by 9:
x = 17
Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum or interior angles of a triangle is 180,
6x + 19 + 5x - 15 + 3x - 6 = 180
6x + 5x + 3x + 19 - 15 - 6 = 180
14x + 19 - 21 = 180
14x - 2 = 180
14x = 180 + 2
14x = 182
x = 182 / 14
x = 13
Use the distributive property.
(3/8)*(16x-24)=(3/8)(16x)-(3/8)(24)
16x*3/8=48x/8=6x
24*3/8=72/8=9
6x+9
Hope this helps!
Answer:
(23, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
If we use substitution, we need to rewrite the 2nd equation so we can substitute it into the first.
Step 1: Rewrite 2nd equation
x = 5y + 3
Step 2: Substitution
2(5y + 3) - 5y = 26
Step 3: Distribute
10y + 6 - 5y = 26
Step 4: Combine like terms
5y + 6 = 26
Step 5: Isolate <em>y</em>
5y = 20
y = 4
Step 6: Find <em>x</em>
x - 5(4) = 3
x - 20 = 3
x = 23
And we have our final answer!
