Cross multiplication would be the answer i would chose. if you have x/2 and then 3/5 you would multiply 5*x and 2*3 and eventually solve for x.

The architects side view drawing of a saltbox-style house shows a post that supports the roof ridge. The support post is 10 ft t

These calculations are based on the drawing of the file enclosed.

There are three right triangles.

From the big right triangle:

a^2 + b^2 = 25^2

From the small right triangle on the left side:


(25-x)^2 + 10^2 = a^2

From the small right triangle on the right side

x^2 +10^2 = b^2

=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = a^2 + b^2

=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = 25^2

=> 25^2 - 50x + x^2 + 10^2 + 10^2 = 25^2

=> x^2 -50x + 100 =0

Use the quadratic formular to find the roots:

x = 2.1 and x = 47.9

Distance from back: 25 - 2.1 = 22.9 ft

Answer: 22.9 ft

Can some one explain how to do this?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent and sine ratios in the right triangle EFG

tan60° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{FG}{EG} = \frac{28}{EG} ( multiply both sides by EG )

EG × tan60° = 28 ( divide both sides by tan60° )

EG = \frac{28}{tan60} ≈ 16.2 in ( to the nearest tenth )

--------------------------------------------------------------

sin60° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{FG}{EF} = \frac{28}{EF} ( multiply both sides by EF )

EF × sin60° = 28 ( divide both sides by sin60° )

EF = \frac{28}{sin60} ≈ 32.3 in ( to the nearest tenth )
