In order to fully understand the problem, it is best to sketch it. Sketching the system, we will see that the system forms a triangle where the angle of elevation is 36 degrees. We are asked to find the hypotenuse. We can use a trigonometric function. It should be noted that one of the sides should also be given in order to calculate the hypotenuse. Trigonometric functions that can be used are:

sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos(theta) = adjacent / hypotenuse

The distance from the top of the tree to the shadow is 40.8 ft.

From the given figure:

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 36= 33/H 
H=33/cos 6= 40.8 ft

kkurt [141]

Answer: -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+ 7x+ 35= 5x + 38

You solve the distributive property on the left side and set it equal to the right

4x+35= 5x+38

-4x -4x

35= x+38

-38 -38

X=-3
