Answer: x ≈ 18 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use our trig knowledge to solve this.
The man is standing 10 ft away, but we also need to add the 5 ft shadow as well as that is a point on our triangle.
We can set up a simple trig equation of: tan(50) = x/15
x being the height of the lamppost.
Now we solve.
tan(50) = 1.1918
1.1918 *15 = x
x = 17.876
Now round to the nearest foot.
x ≈ 18 ft
Since this is a triangle all the angles within the triangle add up to 180 degrees so....
82+(9x+2)+(7x)=180
82+2+16x=180
16x+84=180
16x=96
X=6
If we plug in X to angle(9x+2) and angle (7x) we will get 56 and 42. We can get angle 2 by subtracting 180-42 which is 138
FINAL ANSWER: 138 degrees
Answer:
.375
Step-by-step explanation:
((3/4)/1)/2 = 0.375
Hope it helps
We know that AB and CD are parallel. This allows many assumptions.
From that we know that angle A and angle D are congruent.
That means that x + 8 = 2x - 22 and we can solve for x
x + 8 = 2x - 22
x + 30 = 2x
30 = x or x = 30
We know from the figure that angle B is x or now that we solved for x is 30 degrees. Also, we know that both angle A and angle D are 38 degrees. Now we can solve for the vertical angle E which has a measure of y degrees. A triangle has the sum of its angles equal to 180 degrees.
We can set up an equation like this 30 + 38 + y = 180
30 + 38 + y = 180
68 + y = 180
y = 112 degrees
That is how you would solve this problem
