Answer:
17.11 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
You are using trigonometry in this problem.
The height of the flagpole represents the side <u><em>opposite</em></u> the given angle.
The base of the triangle is given as 19 meters and represents the side <u><em>adjacent</em></u> to the given angle.
Out of the main trigonomentric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent), only tangent uses both the opposite and adjacent sides.
Tan(angle) = opposite / adjacent
If we plug in what we know into that equation: <em>tan(42 degrees) = h / 19</em>
This means that <em>your answer = 19 * tan(42) = 17.11</em> meters
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to this problem is 3 11/12.
1.8 3/4= 8 9/12
2.4 5/6 = 4 10/12
if you minus the two numbers, you get 3 11/12.

Answer:
x equals 3.00cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagoras' Theorem.
a = (14x-45)
b = (16x+27)
c = (25x)
Plug in the variables above into Pythagoras' Theorem that is, a^2+b^2=c^2.
Solve the resulting quadratic equation and reject the negative answer as length is always positive.
