Answer: The angle of elevation is 18.4 degrees (Approximately)
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for more details.
The pole from top to bottom is 20 feet tall and is depicted as line FB. An observer is standing at a distance of 20 feet from the base of the pole, and that is depicted as line BA. The observer who is at point A looks up to the top of the flagpole at an angle of elevation shown as angle A.
Using angle A as the reference angle, line FB which is 20 feet would be the opposite (facing the reference angle), while line BA which is 60 feet would be the adjacent (that lies between the right angle and the reference angle).
Therefore, to calculate angle A;
Tan A = Opposite/Adjacent
Tan A = 20/60
Tan A = 1/3
Tan A = 0.3333
Checking with your calculator or table of values,
A = 18.4349°
Rounded to the nearest tenth,
A ≈ 18.4°
Answer:Angle Bisector Theorem. ... Now picture one of the triangle's angles being split into two equal smaller triangles. That line that was used to cut the angle in half is called the angle bisector. When you do this to a triangle, it actually divides the triangle's sides in a unique way.

Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+4)-1=-7
Add 1 to each side
3(x+4)-1+1=-7+1
3(x+4)=-6
Divide by 3
3/3(x+4)=-6/3
x+4 = -2
Subtract 4 from each side
x+4-4 = -2-4
x = -6
Answer:
- width -- 10 ft
- length -- 35 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let x represent the width. Then the length will be represented by (3x+5), a value 5 more than 3 times the width.
The area is the product of length and width, so is ...
A = (3x +5)(x) = 3x^2 +5x
To make the area 350, we can find the value of x from ...
3x^2 +5x = 350
This can be solved a number of ways. One of them is "completing the square".
3(x^2 +5/3x) = 350
We choose to divide by 3 and add the square of half the x-coefficient.
x^2 +5/3x +(5/6)^2 = (350/3) + (5/6)^2
(x +5/6)^2 = 4225/36 . . . . simplify
x +5/6 = ±√(4225/36) = ±10 5/6 . . . . take the square root
x = 10 or -11 2/3 . . . . subtract 5/6
The positive solution is the one of interest: x = 10.
The driveway is 10 ft wide and 35 ft long.
