Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-(4y + 2) - (-3y - 6) = -1

Step 2: Solve for <em>y</em>

Distribute: -4y - 2 + 3y + 6 = -1
Combine like terms: -y + 4 = -1
Subtract 4 on both sides: -y = -5
Divide both sides by -1: y = 5

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in y to verify it's a solution.</em>

-(4(5) + 2) - (-3(5) - 6) = -1

-(20 + 2) - (-15 - 6) = -1

-22 - (-21) = -1

-22 + 21 = -1

-1 = -1

El angulo de elevacion del sol es de 29°12'35''. Calcular la longitud de la sombra proyectada por un hombre de 1,75m de estatura

Bingel [31]

Respuesta:

3,59 metros

Explicación paso a paso:

Conversión del ángulo de elevación a grados;

29 ° 12 '35 "

= 29 ° + 12 '/ 60 + 35 "/ 3600

= 29,20972 °

Resolviendo el triángulo de solución adjunto:

La longitud de la sombra se puede obtener utilizando la relación trigonométrica;

Sin θ = opuesto / hipoteno

Sin 29.20972 = 1.75 / sombra

Sombra = 1.75 / Sin 29.20972

Longitud de la sombra = 3,59 m
