Answer:
3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34. and two possible pairs of positive numbers are (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (10, 2) and (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 11).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the First positive number be <em>x</em> and second positive number be <em>y.</em>
Triple of first number = 3<em>x</em>
double of second number = 2<em>y</em>
According to question,
3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34
Therefore, the equation is 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34
So the two possible pair of numbers Diego would be thinking of must satisfy the equation 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34
Now, 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34
3<em>x </em>= 34 - 2<em>y</em>
Let x = 10 and by substituting its value in above expression,
Therefore first pair (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (10, 2)
In the same way put x = 4 then,
3<em>x </em>= 34 - 2<em>y</em>
Therefore first pair (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 11)
Therefore, (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 11) and (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (10, 2) are the two possible pairs of numbers Diego could be thinking of as these both values satisfy the equation 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34.
Answer:
174.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be helpful to draw a diagram of the triangle we're concerned with. (See attached.)
We know the angle at the end of the shadow inside the triangle is 52°-22° = 30°. We assume the tree is growing straight up out of the hillside, so its angle with the hill inside the triangle is 90°+22° = 112°. Then the remaining angle between the shadow and the tree at the top of the tree is ...
180° -30° -112° = 38°
Now, we have the angle opposite the tree, and the angle opposite the known side length of the triangle (215 feet along the hill, AC in the diagram). This is enough information to usefully use the Law of Sines.
c/sin(C) = a/sin(A)
c = a(sin(C)/sin(A)) = (215 ft)(sin(30°)/sin(38°)) ≈ 174.6 ft
The height of the tree is about 174.6 feet.
