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

Ainat [17]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there,

We know that the value of ∠ABD and ∠DBC are the same because BD bisects it. Therefore, we can set both of the angle values equal to each other to find the value of x.

9x = (8x + 3)

x = 3

Hope this answer helps. Feel free to ask questions. Cheers.

30% of 250 can be written as 0.3 * 250:

0.3(250) = 75

30% of 250 is 75.  Is this what you mean by "compute with percents?"
