A source of laser light sends rays AB and AC toward two opposite walls of a hall. The light rays strike the walls at points B an

d C, as shown below:
A source of laser light is at point A on the ground between two parallel walls. The walls are perpendicular to the ground. AB is a ray of light which strikes the wall on the left at point B. The length of AB is 60m.AC is a ray of light which strikes the wall on the right at point C which is 40m above the ground. The ray AB makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground. The ray AC makes an angle of 45 degrees with the ground.

What is the distance between the walls?

the options are
80
140
70
110

Well there is a lot of trigonometry in this. I will try my best.

Finding: Distance between Wall A and Wall B.

1. Trig and phythagorean properties for left triangle.
    30m

2. Trig and Pythagorean properties for right triangle.
     40m (approx)

30 + 40 = 70.

Therefore the distance is APPROXIMATELY 70 meters. I haven't learned trig yet so sorry if I am wrong.

I need help with the steps. The answer is (5,2)
Elden [556K]

So with this, I will be using the substitution method. With the first equation, substitute (y+3) into the x variable and solve for y:

y+3+y=7\\2y+3=7\\2y=4\\y=2

Next, now that we have the value of y, substitute it into either equation to solve for x:

x+2=7\\x=5\\\\x=2+3\\x=5

<u>And this is how you get your final answer (5,2).</u>

How to use the break apart strategy to find 247+ 358 in words
r-ruslan [8.4K]
247 is equal to 200+40+7.

358 is equal to 300+50+8.

To find the answer, add 200+300=500.
40+50=90
7+8=15

500+90+15=605

The answer is 605.
