Mathematics

Answer:

2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use trigonometry for this. The appropriate one would be tangent, which is (opposite side) divided by (adjacent side).

In this case, the opposite side of angle A is BC, which is 6 meters. The adjacent side of angle A is AB, which is the ground. Since we don't know its length, we call it x.

Now, we write:

tan(72) = 6/x

To solve, we just multiply both sides by tan(x) and x:

x = 6/[tan(72)] ≈ 1.95 meters ≈ 2 meters.

Thus, the answer is 2 meters.

Hope this helps!

Five years ago I was 5 times older than my son. In 8 years’ time I will be 3 times older than my son. How old am I today?
o-na [289]

Let x = Parent's age now  y = son's age now

Then, x-5 = parent's age five years ago

        y-5 = son's age five years ago

     So, x-5 = 5(y-5)

          Simplify to get x - 5y = -20

Parent's age 8 years from now = x+8

Son's age 8 years from now = y+8

    So, x+8 = 3(y+8)

           Simplifying, we have x - 3y = 16

We have the system of equations:  x - 5y = -20

                                                  x - 3y = 16

Subtract the equations to obtain -2y = -36

                                                  y = 18

                                                  x = 70

Parent is 70 years old and the son is 18 years old.
