B^5 when you’re dividing exponents, just subtract!
Non linear because nothing cubed or squared can be linear.
Hope this helps
Start with an equation summing all the angles in this triangle:
180 = <M + <N + <P
we are given <M and <N but not <P. But, since MN=NP, the angle <P is the same as the angle <M (isosceles, make a drawing to see). So
180 = 2<M + <N
180 = 2(3x+1) + x-11
180 = 7x - 9
x = 27
<P = 3*27+1 = 82 degrees
Consider right triangle with vertices B - base of the hill, S - top of the statue and Y - you. In this triangle angle B is right and angle Y is 13.2°. If h is a height of the statue, then the legs YB and BS have lengths 77 ft and 16+h ft.
You have lengths of two legs and measure of one acute angle, then you can use tangent to find h:
ft.
Answer: the height of the statue is 2.0565 ft.
