Answer: x ≈ 18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use our trig knowledge to solve this.

The man is standing 10 ft away, but we also need to add the 5 ft shadow as well as that is a point on our triangle.

We can set up a simple trig equation of: tan(50) = x/15

x being the height of the lamppost.

Now we solve.

tan(50) = 1.1918

1.1918 *15 = x

x = 17.876

Now round to the nearest foot.

x ≈ 18 ft

Triangle def is equilateral. If the perimeter of def is 36, the length of de is 5x-8, then what is the value of x
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

All the sides of an equilateral triangle are equal, hence the perimeter is expressed as P = 3s

s is one of the side length

Given  DE = 5x - 8

P = 3DE

P = 3(5x-8)

36 = 3(5x-8)

36/3 = 5x-8

12 = 5x - 8

5x = 12+9

5x = 20

x = 20/4

x = 4

Hence the value of x is 4
