<h3>Answer: Approximately 119.76 meters</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

x = starting length of the shadow

y = height of the pole

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(58) = y/x

1.6003345 = y/x

1.6003345x = y

x = y/1.6003345

x = (1/1.6003345)y

x = 0.62486936y

-------------------------

When the angle changes, the adjacent side gets 90 meters longer

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(36) = y/(x+90)

0.72654253 = y/(0.62486936y+90)

0.72654253(0.62486936y+90) = y

0.453994166y + 65.3888277 = y

65.3888277 = y-0.453994166y

65.3888277 = 0.546005834y

0.546005834y = 65.3888277

y = 65.3888277/0.546005834

y = 119.758478075162

y = 119.76

The height of the pole is about 119.76 meters.

There are 160 people in a grade. The ratio of boys to girls is 3 to 5. Which proportion can you use to find the number x of boys
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

60 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

boys : girls = 3 : 5

Total number of people = 160

Let y = common factor:

Therefore, 3y + 5y = 160

⇒ 8y = 160

⇒ y = 160 ÷ 8 = 20

Boys = 3y = 3 x 20 = 60

Girls = 5y = 5 x 20 = 100

So there are 60 boys and 100 girls

The data in the table compares x, the number of pages in a chapter, to y, the amount of time, in minutes, spent reading. The fun

18=0.86x - 0.09     Put 18 as the y value and solve for x
18.09=0.86x           Add 0.09 on both sides.
21.03=x                  Then divide on both sides by 086

How to solve: 3x + 5 = x + 14
jasenka [17]
Combine like terms:
subtract x from both sides to get
2x+5=14
subtract 5
2x=9
isolate x:
divide 2 from both sides to isolate x
x=9/2
that's your final answer. unless your teacher wants you to put it in decimal form in which all you do is divide 9÷2.
