Answer:

169 m

Step-by-step explanation:

See the image below.

Line AB represents the monument and line BC its shadow

Line DB represents the man and Line BE it shadow.

The Sun’s rays are parallel, so AC||DE.

Then ∆ABC ~ ∆DBE

AB:BC::DB:BE

x/65.8 = 1.8/0.7     Multiply both sides by 65.8

       x = 65.6 × 1.8/0.7  

       x = 65.6 × 2.571

       x = 169 m

The height of the Washington monument is 169 m.

Not sure if you wanted answers or explanation on what to do. Ill just do the explanation and if you want the answers just lmk C:

R=1/2 d, and C=pi*2r. So you basically take the given number and plug it into these formulas.

Y=2(x+1)^2 has how many real roots
oee [108]

The equation y= 2(x+1)^2 has one real root and that is x=-1.

What is real roots of the equation?

    We are aware that when we resolve a linear or quadratic equation, we always arrive at the value variable of the equation, or, to put it another way, we always locate the equation's solution. This "solution" is what we refer to as the real roots. For instance, when the equation X^2-7x+12=0 is solved, the actual roots are 3 and 4.

Here given,

=> y = 2(x+1)^2

Take y=0 then,

=> 2(x+1)^2=0

=> (x+1)^2=0

=>(x+1)=0

=> x=-1

Hence the given equation has one real root and that is x=-1.

Pls help me forgot how to do this <br> find the value of x
seropon [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

oto begin you should know that all triangles contain 180 degrees and that a flat line contains 180 degrees as well. This means that in order to find this answer you should begin by calculating the remianing angle in the traingle. This is done by 180-(95+51) and gives and angle of 34 degrees. Then take 180-(95+35) in order to get x. This gives an x of 51.

Hope this helps!
