Answer:

52.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Light reflects off a mirror at the same angle it hits it at (as shown in the image). Since both triangles are right triangles, we can say they are similar by AA similarity.

Since they're similar, we can write a proportion.

HT / TV = JS / SV

Plugging in values:

5.8 / 4 = JS / 36

JS = 52.2

The wall is 52.2 feet tall.

4x + 5y = 22 7x - 3y = -32

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

x = -2

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

i multiplied the 1st equation by 3 and the 2nd by 5 to get the y-terms to zero out

12x + 15y = 66

+ 35x - 15y = -160

47x = -94

x = -94/47

x = -2

substitute -2 for 'x' to solve for 'y':

4(-2) + 5y = 22

-8 + 5y = 22

5y = 30

y = 6
