Tan 25.5 = h/x

Tan 20.5 = h / x+1

x tan 25.5 = (x+1) tan 20.5

x 0.476975532 = (x+1) 0.373884679

0.476975532x = 0.373884679x + 0.373884679

Deduct both sides by .373884679

0.103090853x = 0.373884679

x = 3.6267 is the first person.

Add one to get for the second person

X = 4.6267

<h3>Answer: A) 20+10h</h3>

Work Shown:

It grows 2h inches for 4 weeks, so 2h*4 = 2*4h = 8h is the amount it grows for those 4 weeks.

Then it grows h inches per week, for 2 more weeks, giving h+h = 2h additional inches.

Overall, 8h+2h = 10h is the amount the plant grows.

It starts off at 20 inches so its final height is 20+10h

tester [92]

Answer:

I'll setup the problem and you can do the calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of straw - L

Length of piece 1 - x

Length of piece 2 - y

Length of piece 3 - z

What's given and the answer to (i)

y = x - 3

z = 2x

(ii) L = x + y + z = x + x - 3 + 2x

L = 4x-3

(iii) x = (21+3)/4 = 24/4

leaving you to calculate x

then substitute x into expressions for y & z above and you will have the answer
