The answer to this equation is
x= (1/4)
Answer:
27.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a ratio that represents the problem:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
Substitute with the dimensions of the 34 foot pole and its 30 foot shadow.
34 : 30
Find the unit rate:
The unit rate is when one number in a ratio is 1.
Let's make the Shadow equal to one by dividing by 30 on both sides.
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
34 : 30
/30 /30
1.13 : 1
Now, let's multiply by 24 on both sides to find the height of the tree.
Multiply:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
1.13 : 1
x24 x24
27.2 : 24
Therefore, the tree is 27.2 feet tall.
Answer:
x = 9 and ∠ B = 40°
Step-by-step explanation:
See the diagram given with the question first.
Here we have ∠ A = ∠ B {They are corresponding angles}
Now, it is given that ∠ A = 5x - 5 and ∠ B = 3x + 13
Hence, 5x - 5 = 3x + 13
⇒ 2x = 18
⇒ x = 9
Therefore, ∠ B = 3x + 13 = 3(9) + 13 = 40° (Answer)
