Just plug in an easy number for "x" and solve. Then see if the second problem is really greater that the first
Answer:
6.9 foot.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Length of lamp post= 12-foot.
The angle of elevation of the sun is 60°.
∴ The length of Lamp post, which is opposite is 12-foot.
Now, finding the length of shadow cast by foot lamp.
Length of shadow is adjacent.
∴ We know the formula for 
= 
Next, putting the value in the formula.
⇒ 
Cross multiplying both side and using the value of Tan 60°
∴ Adjacent= 
≅ 6.9 (nearest tenth value)
6.9 is the length of shadow cast by a 12-foot lamp post.
It's important that you share the complete question. What is your goal here? Double check to ensure that you have copied the entire problem correctly.
The general equation of a circle is x^2 + y^2 = r^2. Here we know that the circle passes thru two points: (-3,2) and (1,5). Given that a third point on the circle is (-7, ? ), find the y-coordinate of this third point.
Subst. the known values (of the first point) into this equation: (-3)^2 + (2)^2 = r^2. Then 9 + 4 = 13 = r^2.
Let's check this. Assuming that the equation of this specific circle is
x^2 + y^2 = r^2 = 13, the point (1,5) must satisfy it.
(1)^2 + (5)^2 = 13 is not true, unfortunately.
(1)^2 + (5)^2 = 1 + 25 = 26 (very different from 13).
Check the original problem. If it's different from that which you have shared, share the correct version and come back here for further help.
