Answer with explanation:

Height of pole = 5 feet

Angle made by tent on both sides of the ground = 55°

\tan 55^{\circ}=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}\\\\1.428=\frac{5}{B}\\\\B=\frac{5}{1.428}\\\\\text{Base}=3.50

⇒Total Width of tent = 3.50 + 3.50 = 7 feet

Choice 1 : 7 feet

To answer this problem, you need to use SOHCAHTOA.  The pole, the tent, and the ground form a right triangle.  One leg is equal to 5.  The top angle is 55.  You need to find length of the other leg, so use tangent.  

tan55=O/5

O=0.4375

Double this to find the total width of the tent.  0.4375*2=0.875

0.875 (rounds to 1) feet

Hope this helps!!

What is the answer to x+y=3​
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

(x+y)² =(x+y)(x+y)    Then you FOIL (First, outer, inner, last)

(x+y)² =(x+y)(x+y) = xx + xy + xy + yy [and when you combine like terms] = x² + 2xy + y²

(x+y)3 = (x² + 2xy + y²)(x+y) Then you FOIL (First, outer, inner, last)

(x+y)3 = (x² + 2xy + y²)(x+y) = x2x +2xxy + xy2 + x2y + 2xyy + y2y [and when you combine like terms] = x3 + 3x2y+ 3xy2 + y3

PLEASEEE EXPLAIN AND HELP

The length of the unknown sides of the triangles are as follows:

CD = 10√2

AC = 10√2

BC =  10

AB = 10

<h3>Triangle ACD</h3>

ΔACD is a right angle triangle. Therefore, Pythagoras theorem can be used to find the sides of the triangle.

  • c² = a² + b²

where

c = hypotenuse side = AD = 20

a and b are the other 2 legs

lets use trigonometric ratio to find CD,

cos 45 = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 45 = CD / 20

CD = 1 / √2 × 20

CD = 20 / √2 = 20√2 / 2 = 10√2

20² - (10√2)² = AC²

400 - 100(2)  = AC²

AC² = 200

AC = √200 = 10√2

<h3>Triangle ABC</h3>

ΔABC is a right angle triangle too. Therefore,

  • AB² + BC² = AC²

Using trigonometric ratio,

cos 45 = BC / 10√2

BC = 10√2 × cos 45

BC = 10√2 × 1 / √2

BC = 10√2 / √2 =  10

(10√2)² - 10² = AB²

200 - 100 = AB²

AB² = 100

AB = 10
