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.

Complete the solution of the equation. Find the
forsale [732]

Answer:

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x as -19 and solve for y.

2(-19) - 5y = -28

Multiply.

-38 - 5y = -28

Add 38 on both sides of the equation.

-5y = -28 + 38

-5y = 10

Divide both sides by -5.

y = 10/-5

y = -2

In isosceles △ABC the segment BD (with D∈ AC ) is the median to the base AC . Find BD, if the perimeter of △ABC is 50m, and the
Morgarella [4.7K]

Let the equal sides of the isosceles Δ ABC be x.

Given that the perimeter of Δ ABC = 50m.

Therefore, 2x + AC = 50 --- (1)

It is also given that the perimeter of Δ ABD = 40m.

Therefore, x + BD + AD = 40

BD is the median of the Δ ABC. Therefore, D is the midpoint of AC.

So AD = CD.

Or, AD = \frac{1}{2} AC

Therefore, x + BD + \frac{1}{2} AC = 40

Multiply both sides by 2.

2x + 2BD + AC = 80

From (1), 2x + AC = 50.

Therefore, 2BD + 50 = 80

2BD = 80 - 50

2BD = 30

BD = 15m.
