Answer:  Length of lamp Post will be 20.26 feet .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

In ΔABC, we can apply "Trigonometric rule "

\tan\theta=\frac{AB}{BC}\\\\\tan50\textdegree=\frac{AB}{17}\\\\1.19=\frac{AB}{17}\\\\1.19\times 17=AB\\\\20.259=AB\\\\20.26=AB

So, Length of lamp Post will be 20.26 feet .

Hello,
your calculus is exact.
Rounded to the nearest foot, 20.259...====>20 (feet)
Distance to 20 is 0.259...
Distance to 21 is 0.740....
shortest is 0.259..==>20 feet

Is (3,4) a solution to the system of<br> equations. <br> X + y = 7<br> x - 2y = - 5
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer: Yes, the point (3,4) is a solution to the system.

===================================================

Proof of this:

Replace x with 3 and y with 4 in the first equation

x+y = 7

3+4 = 7

7 = 7

This confirms the first equation. Repeat for the second equation

x-2y = -5

3-2(4) = -5

3 - 8 = -5

-5 = -5

We get true equations for both when we plug in (x,y) = (3,4). This confirms it is a valid solution to the system of equations. It turns out it's the only solution to this system of equations. Visually, the two lines cross at the single location (3,4).
