The length of the shadow is 124.7 in

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

Given:

Angle, θ = 30°

Height of the fence,  h = 72 in

Length of the shadow, l = ?

Given:

tan 30° = \frac{perpendicular}{base}  = \frac{height of the fence}{length of the shadow}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } = \frac{72}{l} \\\\l = 72\sqrt{3} \\\\l = 124.7 in

Therefore, the length of the shadow is 124.7 in

To answer your question, this could be the possible answer and i hope you understand and interpret it correctly:
<span>[Integrate [0, 1/2] xcos(pi*x
let u=x so that du=dx
 and v=intgral cos (xpi)dx
        v=(1/pi)sin(pi*x)
 integration by parts
uv-itgral[0,1/2]vdu just plug ins
 (1/pi)sinpi*x]-(1/pi)itgrlsin(pi*x)dx from 0 to 1/2
(1/pi)x sinpi*x - (1/pi)[-(1/pi) cos pi*x] from 0 to 1/2
 =(1/2pi)+(1/pi^2)[cos pi*x/2-cos 0]
=1/2pi - 1/2pi^2
=(pi-2)/2pi^2 ans</span>

Help finals study guide please I want to just go on break​
timofeeve [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

(note: I'm only answering the ones I know vs giving you wrong answers for the others!)

1. ROS=Obtuse (larger then ninty degrees)

2. octagon has 8 angles (octo means eight, after all!)

3. If a figure has three sides, it is a triagle (not positive on this one)

4. symmetric property of congruence (this one's a simple search :p )

5. N/A (although I believe its angle BEC=124 degrees, as every other choice Is proven to be true)

6. congruent complements theorem (this is because we are given that 3 is a suppliment of 4. we are also given that 2=4. Based on this, then 1=3 is congruent based on 1 being suppliment of 2, 2=4, and 3 being a suppliment of 4)

7. N/A

8. N/A (the picture is too fuzzy for me to make any ideas)

I'm sorry I couldn't solve them all, but I hope this at least gets you somewhere! Have a great day!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x×x=x²

2×x=2x

2×x=2x

2×2=4

Add like terms to make the equation:

x^{2} +4x+4=7

So<em>:</em>

<em />x^{2} +4x=3

<em />
