Answer:

First

Step-by-step explanation:

● tan 30° = opposite/adjacent

Let x be the missing hight

● tan 30° = x/15

Multiply both sides by 15

● tan 30° *15 = (x/15)*15

● tan 30°*15 = x

● x = 8.66 wich is approximatively 5×√(3)

Write the standard form of the equation of the line that passes through point at (4,2) and is parallel to whose equation is y=2x

solong [7]

Since the equation is parallel to y=2x-4 that means they have the same slope. Now that you have the slope and fortunately a point, you can solve this by using point slope formula
$y - y1 = m(x - x1)$
Which is what I did on the attached picture and just rearrange it after solving to Ax+By=C/2x-y=6
