Answer:

Option A is correct

the height of the flagpole is, 41.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

The angle looking up at the sun is 70°

⇒\theta= 70^{\circ}

It is also given that:

A flagpole casts a shadow of 15 ft.

For this you can see the diagram as shown below in the attachment.

Now, find the height of the flagpole.

Let h be the height of flagpole.

using tangent ratio:

\tan \theta = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}

From the given diagram;

\theta = 70^{\circ}

Opposite side = Height of the Flag pole = h

Adjacent  side = Shadow of the flagpole = 15 ft

Substitute these we get;

\tan 70^{\circ} = \frac{h}{15}

Multiply both sides by 15 we get;

15 \cdot \tan 70^{\circ} = h

15 \cdot 2.75 = h

Simplify:

41.2 ft = h

or

h = 41.2 ft

Therefore, the height of the flagpole is, 41.2 ft

Answer:

The length of the flagpole be 41.2 ft .

Option (A) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The angle looking up at the sun is 70°.

A flagpole casts a shadow of 15 ft .

Now by using the trignometric identity .

tan \theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

\ theta = 70^{\circ}

tan\ 70^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{BC}

BC = 15 ft

tan 70° = 2.75 (Approx)

2.75 = \frac{AB}{15}

AB = 2.75 × 15

     = 41.2 ft

Therefore the length of the flagpole be 41.2 ft .

Option (A) is correct .

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

x = ± 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x² = 4 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{4} = ± 2

The rectangle shown has a perimeter of 48 cm and the given area. Its length is 6 more than twice its width. Write and solve a sy
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 18 cm

The width of the rectangle is 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle is

P=2(x+y)

we have

P=48\ cm

so

48=2(x+y) ------> equation A

x=2y+6 ------> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

48=2(2y+6+y)

48=2(3y+6)

48=6y+12

6y=48-12

y=36/6=6 cm

Find the value of x

x=2(6)+6=18 cm

The area of the rectangle is

A=xy

A=18*6

A=108 cm^2

Help me please ASAP. I really need this
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't think this can be done without the diagram. You do not know what HD is opposite. I will take a guess that it is opposite TU which makes TU = 220 because both H and D are midpoints and that makes TU twice as large as HD.

If this is incorrect, post the diagram.
