Answer:
There are three intersections on the graph, therefore there are three solutions to the system
Step-by-step explanation:
The firts thig we are going to do is create tow triangles using the angles of elevation of Paul and Jose. Since the problem is not giving us their height we'll assume that the horizontal line of sight of both of them coincide with the base of the tree.
We know that Paul is 19m from the base of the tree and its elevation angle to the top of the tree is 59°. We also know that the elevation angle of Jose and the top of the tree is 43°, but we don't know the distance between Paul of Jose, so lets label that distance as

.
Now we can build a right triangle between Paul and the tree and another one between Jose and the tree as shown in the figure. Lets use cosine to find h in Paul's trianlge:



Now we can use the law of sines to find the distance

between Paul and Jose:



Now that we know the distance between Paul and Jose, the only thing left is add that distance to the distance from Paul and the base of the tree:

We can conclude that Jose is 33.9m from the base of the tree.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
This triangle has a small square, which represents a right angle. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Where <em>a</em> and <em>b </em> are the legs of the triangle and <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse.
In this triangle, 7 and √15 are the legs, because these sides make up the right angle. The unknown side is the hypotenuse, because it is opposite the right angle. So, we know two values:

Substitute these values into the formula.

Solve the exponents.


Add.

Since we are solving for c, we must isolate the variable. It is being squared and the inverse of a square is the square root. Take the square root of both sides.

The third side length is <u>8.</u>
