Let AB = t. And since X lies in the middle, so AX=BX = t/2 .

Let the height of the smaller flagpole is AO and of larger flagpole is BP .

Using tangent ratio rule in each triangle, we will get

tan 35 =\frac{AO}{t/2} , tan 45= \frac{BP}{t/2} // AO = \frac{t*tan35}{2},  BP=\frac{t*tan45}{2}

And there ratio is

\frac{AO}{BP}= \frac{tan 35}{tan 45}=\frac{0.7}{1}

g100num [7]

Answer:

B. x < -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first we need to get x by itself.

To do that we do 4 / -1/2 = -8

And since a negative was divided the > changes to a <.

So x<-8.

If x is less than -8 the line starts at -8 and goes to the left.

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>the answer is choice b.</em>
