Answer: 97 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw 2 right triangles KLM and ABC.

ML=3.2 m  ( is a pole)  KL =1.29 m( pole's  shadow).

(The triangle KLM is right because we suppose that pole is staying vertically).

In triangle AB is tower's  shadow= 39.25 m and BC is the height og tower=x meters?

Triangles KLM and ABC are similar .

So ML/KL=x/AB

3.2/1.29=x/39.25

x=3.2*39.25/1.29= approx 97.36  meters= 97 meters

igomit [66]

Answer:

85x

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 4 and 3 . 5 x ( 28 − 4 − 1 * 7 ) Multiply − 1 by 7.

5 x ( 28 − 4 − 7 )

Simplify the expression. Subtract 4 from 28.

5 x ( 24 − 7 )

Subtract 7 from 24.

5 x * 17

Multiply 17 by 5.

85 x

X + y = -1<br> X - y = 7
enyata [817]
1: Solve for either x or y in one of the equations. So x + y = -1 is y = -x -1
2: substitute the new equation in the opposite equation. So x - (-x - 1) = 7
3: distribute the negative. X + x + 1 = 7
4: combine like terms. 2x + 1 = 7
5: solve for x. Subtract 1 on both sides. 2x = 6
6: divide by 2 to get x by itself. X = 3
7: plug the new value of x into one of the ORIGINAL equations. 3 + y = -1
8: solve for y. Subtract 3 on both sides.
Y = -4
9: the solution is written as (x,y) so the solution would be (3, -4)

A polynomial function has a zero at x=3 which of the follwing expressions must be one factor of the polynomial. A. x + 3 b. 3x C
nexus9112 [7]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. A polynomial function has a zero value at x=3 for the <span>expression where one factor is x-3. This factor when x=3 will always result to a zero value no matter what you multiply to it. Hope this answers the question.</span>
