Sure what do you need help on
I see this as a basic equation.
If she starts at point x, 8 feet, then goes down another 13, she is adding to the number of feet she traveled down.
So your answer would be 8+13=21
If this isn't what you needed, because I am not sure what math you are taking, let me know if I can help you more!
Answer:
x = 9
y = 9√3 = 15.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle given is a right triangle, therefore:
✔️apply trigonometric ratio formula to find x:
Reference angle = 60°
Hypotenuse = 18
Adjacent = x
Thus:
Cos (60) = x/18
Multiply both sides by 18
18×cos(60) = x
9 = x
x = 9
✔️find y by applying pythagorean theorem:
y² = 18² - x² (pythagorean theorem)
y² = 18² - 9² (substitution)
y² = 243
y = √243
y = √(81*3)
y = 9√3 = 15.6
