A triangles measure = 180
45 + 35 + x = 180
80 + x = 180
x = 100
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
2 right triangles are formed.
x is the angle btw wire and grnd
tan x = 10/5 = 2
tanx = ht of tower/(5+14)
2 = tower ht/19
tower ht = 38
length of wire =
Answer:
$2=1
Step-by-step explanation:
6 =$3
So, first, what are the two sides?
let's call then x and y
we know that 2(x+y)=12.5 (that's the distance around)
so that means that x+y=6.25 (I just divided both by 2)
now, x=4y (from "4 times as long as it is wide")
so we can substitute:
x+4x=6.25
5x=6.25
x=1.25
so one side, is 1.25 and the other will be 1.25*4=5
and for the area we multiply the two:
1.25*5=6.25 square kilometers, and this is the answer!
