Answer:
Answer in terms of a trigonometric function :
Answer in figures
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the sketch attached below to better understand the problem.
Let x be the distance between point B and the base of the water tower.
From equation 2,
substituting the value of x into equation 1, we get
cross multiplying,
The height of the tower is in terms of the trig function "Tan"
The equation can simply be evaluated to get the answer in figures since the angles are given in the question
The correct answer would be <u><em>B. 2 - 1/3</em></u>
First you find a common denominator, which is 12 ( as 4,3 and 6 all go into 12). So 2/4 becomes 6/12, as 4 multiplied by 3 is 12 and whatever you do to the denominator you must do to the numerator. Then 2/3 becomes 8/12. And 2/6 becomes 4/12. If you put these in order the answer is:
2/6, 2/4, 2/3
Here, EJI + FJE = 180 [ Linear-Pair Equation ]
FJE + 135 = 180
FJE = 180 - 135
FJE = 45
Now, FJH + FJE = 180 [Linear-Pair Equation ]
FJH + 45 = 180
FJH = 180 - 45
FJH = 135
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Denote adding term = a
a = (5/6x) - 4 - (1/2x) - 4
a = (5/6x) - (1/2x)
a = (5/6x) - (3/6x)
a = (2/6x)
a = (1/3x)
*******************************
a = (5/6)x - 4 - (1/2)x - 4
a = (5/6)x - (1/2)x
a = (5/6 - 1/2)x
a = (1/3)x
Hope this helps!
