Answer: b=47.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a Rigth triangle as the one attached, where "b" is the height in feet of the pole.

IFor this exercise you need to use the following Trigonometric Identity:

sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

In this case, you can identify that:

\theta=30\°\\\\opposite=b\\\\hypotenuse=95

Then, knowing these values, you can substitute them into sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}, as below:

sin(30\°)=\frac{b}{95}

Finally, you must solve for "b" in order to find its value. You get that this is:

95*sin(30\°)=b\\\\b=47.5

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We can notice that the balance beam has in one side 7 balls and in the other one 5 balls and a square

The balance beam is balenced

Let x be the square mass

  • x+5 = 7            substract five from each side
  • x+5-5 = 7-5
  • x = 2

The solution is 2

C fits perfectly what we prooved
