Answer:

x = 17/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3 x+8

------ = ------------

2 6

Using cross products

(x-3) *6 = 2 (x+8)

Distribute

6x - 18 = 2x+16

Subtract 2x from each side

6x-2x-18 = 2x-2x+16

4x-18 = 16

Add 18 to each side

4x-18+18 = 16+18

4x = 34

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 34/4

x = 17/2

A bird (B) is spotted flying 6,000 feet from a tower (T)). An observer (O) spots the top of the tower (T) at a distance of 9,000

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The angle will be "48.7°".

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔTBO, the given values are:

TB = 6,000 feet

BO = 9,000 feet

Now,

To find the angle,

⇒ $Cos \ B =\frac{TB}{BO}$

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒ $Cos \ x=\frac{6000}{9000}$

⇒ $Cos \ x=0.66$

⇒ $x=Cos^{-1} \ 0.66$

⇒ $x=48.7^{\circ}$
