Answer:

Option D) x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(4-2)(x-2) = 4x - 8

Distribute and simplify 4-2

2(x-2) = 4x - 8

2x-4 = 4x -8

Subtract 2x on both sides and add 8 on both sies

4x - 8 = 2x-4

2x= 4

Divide 2 on both sides

x = 2

The picture below shows the path that Puppy Liz is running. The electrical post is 40 feet tall. Puppy Liz usually starts at the

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Puppy Liz runs 34.61 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can extract two triangles: one with angle 34° and adjacent 40ft, the other with angle 34°+23° and adjacent 40ft.

Let us call the distance from the pole to the fire hydrant $d_1$ , and the distance from the pole to the bench $d_2$ , then the distance $d$ from the fire hydrant to the bench is

$d=d_2-d_1$

which is the distance the Puppy Liz runs.

Now, from trigonometry we have

$tan(34^o)=\frac{d_1}{40}\\\\\therefore d_1= 40*tan(34^o)\\\\ \boxed{d_1=26.98ft}$

and

$tan(34^o+23^o)=\frac{d_2}{40}$

$d_2=40*tan(34^o+23^o)\\\\\boxed{d_2=61.59}$

Therefore, the distance $d$ Puppy Liz runs is

$d=d_2-d_1$

$d=61.59ft-26.98ft\\\\\boxed{d=34.61ft}$
