This problem is solely on right triangles, wherein the Pythagorean theorem may be applied. We must first find the angle of elevation of the flagpole using Tim's height and the difference between the shadow of the flagpole and Tim's distance from the flagpole. Therefore tan a = 1.65/(16.6-12.5) where a=21.68 degrees. We use this angle to determine the height of the flagpole. tan 21.68 = x/ 16.6 where x=height of flagpole=6.6 meters.

Answer:

3. The missing angle is 56°

4. x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

3.

We know sum of 3 angles in a triangle is 180°.

Looking at the top triangle, we can figure out the third angle. Let third angle be x:

85 + 35 + x = 180

120 + x = 180

x = 180 - 120

x = 60

<u>The angle "x" and the angle that is missing from the "bottom" triangle in the figure, are vertical angles, and hence, are EQUAL.</u>

So the bottom triangle now has 2 angles, 60 and 64 (given). Let the third angle be y(the one with a question mark). So we can write:

60 + 64 + y = 180

124 + y = 180

y = 180 - 124

y= 56

This is the missing angle.

4.

10x - 5 AND 8x + 9 are vertical angles. They ARE EQUAL.

Thus we can write the equation:

(10x-5) =  (8x+9)

10x-8x=9+5

2x=14

x=14/2

x=7

So x = 7

Simplify (2x - 2y) (2y + 8) =?
Alika [10]

Answer:

it is 4xy-4y^2+16x-16y

Step-by-step explanation:

My method is to "square them"

2x.          -2y.      

                         2y

                         8

2x * 2y

2x * 8

-2y*2y

-2y * 8

and add all the products together
