<A +<B + < C =180° ==>(5x+6) + (2x+1) + (6x+4) = 180°
13x = 180°-11° ==> 13x 169° and x =169/13 =13°
It is helpful to first plug this in to point-slope form (note that there are other ways to do this).
Using the form
, you get
. You can simplify this to get
.
Answer choice A
The correct answer is 65°
Answer:
32√5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the right triangles PQA and PQB as well as the given right triangle QAB.
cot(PAQ) = 2/5 = QA/PQ
cot(PBQ) = 3/5 = QB/PQ
cot(PAQ) / cot(PBQ) = (2/5) / (3/5) = 2/3
cot(PAQ) / cot(PBQ) = (QA/PQ) / (QB/PQ) = QA / QB
QA / QB = 2/3
QA = (2/3) QB
QB = (3/2) QA
By the Pythagorean Theorem we have:
(QA)² + 32² = (QB)²
(QA)² + 32² = (3/2 QA)²
(QA)² + 1024 = (9/4) (QA)²
(5/4) (QA)² = 1024
(QA)² = (4/5)1024 = 4096/5
QA = 64/√5
Solve for PQ.
cot(PAQ) = QA/PQ
PQ = QA / cot(PAQ)
PQ = (64/√5) / (2/5) = 32√5
The height of the tower is 32√5.
