A flagpole casts a shadow 16.60 meters long Tim stands at a distance of 12.45 meters from the base of the flagpole such that the

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.

4 there are only red sweets and yellow sweets in a bag.
Taya2010 [7]

Using the probability concept, it is found that since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be \dfrac{7}{10}

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

In this problem:

  • In total, there are 8 + n sweets in the bag.
  • Of those, n are red.

The probability of red is:

p=\dfrac{n}{n+8}

Supposing, we solve for n:

\dfrac{n}{n+8} = \dfrac{7}{10}

10n = 7n + 56

3n = 56

n  =  56 / 3

n  =  18.67

Since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be 7 / 10

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= 20 + 12(x - 2)​

Distribute

f(x) =20 +12x - 24

Combine like terms

ANSWER ASAP PLEASE RIGHT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIST
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up equation for this one.

Let's say the number is X.

the sum of X and 14 can be expressed as : X+14

five times the sum of X and 14 can be expressed as 5(x+14)

and 5(X+14) = 80

5(x+14) = 80\\x+14 = 80 \div 5 = 16\\x = 16-14 = 2

The number  is 2
