Answer:
the anwer is a triangle as it is shown below.
If 68 minutes ago it (then) was three times as many minutes past 10 am (now)
x + 68 = 3 ×
×
(120 - x) →
→
x = 73 min
… if 68 minutes ago it (now) was three times as many minutes past 10 am (then)
x = 3 ×
×
[120 - (x + 68)] →
→
x = 39 min
… if 68 minutes ago it (then) was three times as many minutes past 10 am (then)
x + 68 = 3 ×
×
[120 - (x + 68)] →
→
x = 22 min
Answer:
x = 11.4 m
y = 21 m
man's shadow = 9.6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
measure of third angle must be 50 degrees (180 - (40 + 90))
you can take tan50° = 15/y and 'y' will equal approx. 21
to find 'x' you can take tan21° = (21-x) /25 and 21 - x = 25 · tan21°
21 - x = 9.6
-x = -11.4
x = 11.4
man's shadow is the difference of 21 and 11.4, which is 9.6
