Answer:

  23 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationships between angle functions and side measures in a right triangle. The geometry of this problem can be modeled as a right triangle with one leg (h) equal to the height of the pole, and one leg (21 m) that is the shadow length on the ground. The angle of the sun's rays is the angle opposite the h leg, so we can use ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(48°) = h/(21 m)

  h = (21 m)tan(48°) ≈ 23.32 m

The height of the flagpole is about 23 meters.

If we are to write this equation in slope-intercept form, it will be in y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.  We need then to find the slope of the line using 2 points on the line and filling in the slope formula to find the slope.  One of the points we can use is (0, 3) which is also the y intercept.  The y-intercept is found where x = 0.  Where x = 0, y = 3.  So b = 3.  Now for the slope we will use (0,3) and (4,4):  m= \frac{4-3}{4-0} = \frac{1}{4}.  Using that m value and that b value we have the equation y= \frac{1}{4}x+3.  There you go!

Answer:

x = 4, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by multiplying the first equation by 2:

2x + 2y = 12 --> 4x + 4y = 24

Subtract the second from the first:

   4x + 4y = 24

-   5x + 4y = 28

4x - 5x = -x

4y = 4y = 0

24 - 28 = -4

so you end with -x + 0 = -4

Solve for x to get x = 4

Plug x = 4 back into 2x + 2y = 12 to find y.

2(4) + 2y = 12

8 + 2y = 12

2y = 4

y = 2

Answer:

72 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope

y=-(7/8)x+105

plug in 72 for the y

72=-(7/8)x+105

-177=-(7/8)x

72 = x
