<u>ANSWER: </u>

The height of flag pole is 24 meters.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, at 20 meters from a flagpole, the angle of elevation is 48 degrees,  We need to find how tall is the flag pole.

Let the length of the flag pole be x.

In the given case, ground, flag pole and sight all together forms a right angle triangle.

In that triangle, sight acts as hypotenuse and remaining as sides.

Now, we know that, in any triangle.

\tan \theta=\frac{\text {opposite side}}{\text {adjacent side}}

Since, angle of elevation is 48 degrees and flag acts as opposite side, we get

\tan (48)=\frac{x}{20}

1.200=\frac{x}{20}

x = 1.200 x 20

x = 24.00

Hence, the height of flag pole is 24 meters.

What is the solution to the equation One-third (x minus 2) = one-fifth (x + 4) + 2? x = 12 x = 14 x = 16 x = 26
Elena L [17]

Answer:

x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{3} (x - 2) = \frac{1}{5} (x + 4) + 2

Multiply through by 15 to clear the fractions

5(x - 2) =3(x + 4) + 30 ← distribute and simplify both sides

5x - 10 = 3x + 12 + 30, that is

5x - 10 = 3x + 42 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 10 = 42 ( add 10 to both sides )

2x = 52 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 26
