tan(72)= \frac{y}{x}  ; tan(55)= \frac{y}{2.2 + x}
y=xtan(72);y=(2.2+x)tan(55)
So we are to merge the two equations into one, since both of the equations are equal to y. a = b, b = c therefore, a = c.
xtan(72)=2.2tan(55)+xtan(55)
We are to isolate x.
x[tan(72)-tan(55)]=2.2tan(55)
x=\frac{2.2tan(55)}{tan(72)-tan(55)}
The value of x is approximately, 1.9047m
Then, substitute the value of x from y=xtan(72)
y=1.9047tan(72)
y = 5.862m
Round up, then the answer would be D.

Check that 2b+b and 3b have the same value when b is 1,2, and 3. Do 2b+b and 3b have the same value for all values of b? Explain
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Expression 2b+b and 3b have same values for all values of b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two expression 2b+b and 3b and values of b as 1, 2 and 3.

Consider first expression that is, 2b+b.

Substituting the value of b=1,

2\left(1\right)+\left(1\right)=2+1=3 ....1

Substituting the value of b=2,

2\left(2\right)+\left(2\right)=4+2=6 ....2

Substituting the value of b=3,

2\left(3\right)+\left(3\right)=6+3=9 ....3

Consider second expression that is, 3b.

Substituting the value of b=1,

3\left(1\right)=3 ....4

Substituting the value of b=2,

3\left(2\right)=6 ....5

Substituting the value of b=3,

3\left(3\right)=9 ....6

For value of b=1, equation 1 and equation 4 are same, for value of b=2, equation 2 and equation 5 are same and for value of b=3 equation 3 and equation 6 are same.

Therefore both expression are same for all values of b.
