Answer: The tank holds 18 gallons of gasoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number number of gallons of gasoline that the tank of Lydia's car hold.

Lydia gas tank was 3/4 full when she left on a trip. It means that the amount of gasoline in the tank was 3x/4 gallons.

She used 8 gallons of gasoline during her trip. The amount that would be left is

3x/4 - 8

Now, 5.5 gallons of gasoline remain in the gas tank. It means that

3x/4 - 8 = 5.5

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 4, it becomes

3x - 32 = 22

3x = 22 + 32

3x = 54

x = 54/3

x = 18

Answer:

○ ³\⁷

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are multiplying ⁷√x three times, you write it like this first, ⁷√x³, then according to one of the Six Exponential Rules, ⁿ√aᵐ = aᵐ\ⁿ, ⁷√x³ gets rewritten as x³\⁷.

two points on the same side of a tree are 65 feet apart. the angles of elevation of the top the tree are 21 19 from one point an
zloy xaker [14]
The question is find the height of the tree, given that at two points 65 feet apart on the same side of the tree and in line with it, the angles of elevaton of the top of the tree are  21° 19' and 16°20'.

1) Convert the angles to decimal form:

19' * 1°/60' = 0.32° => 21° 19' = 21.32°

20' * 1°/60' = 0.33° => 16° 20' = 16.33°

2) Deduce the trigonometric ratios from the verbal information.

You can form a triangle with

- horizontal leg  x + 65 feet
- elevation angle 16.33°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h

=> trigonometric ratio: tan (16.33) = h /( x + 65) => h = (x+65) * tan(16.33)

You can form a second triangle with:

-  horizontal leg x
- elevation angle 21.32°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
 
=> trigonometric ratio: tan(21.32) = h / x  => h = x * tan(21.32)

Now equal the two expressions for h:

(x+65)*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)

=> x*tan(16.33) + 65*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(21.32) - x*tan(16.33) = 65*tan(16.33)
=> x = 65*tan(16.33) / [ tan(21.32) - tan(16.33) ] = 195.73 feet

=> h = 195.73 * tan(21.32) = 76.39 feet.

Answer: 76.39 feet
