<span>One number is one less than five times another ....
</span>Let one number be x<span>
The other number is 5x - 1

Their sum ... 
x + 5x - 1 = 6x - 1

Their sum is decreased by 3
6x - 1 - 3 = 6x - 4

The result is eight
6x - 4 = 8
6x = 8 + 4
6x = 12
x = 2

x = 2
</span>5x - 1 = 5(2) - 1 = 9<span>
One number is 2 and the other is 9.</span>

Triangles O N M and S R Q are shown. Angles O N M and S R Q are congruent. The length of side N M is 10 and the length of side S
valina [46]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

In △ONM and △SRQ,

\angle ONM\cong \angle SRQ

NM=10

SR=20

NO=8

QR=x

We need to find the value of x that will make △ONM similar to △SRQ by the SAS similarity theorem.

According to SAS similarity theorem, two triangle are similar if two corresponding sides in both triangles are proportional and the included angle in both are congruent.

It is given that \angle ONM\cong \angle SRQ. So, both triangles are similar by SAS if

\dfrac{NO}{NM}=\dfrac{SR}{QR}

Substitute the given values.

\dfrac{8}{10}=\dfrac{20}{x}

8\times x=20\times 10

8x=200

Divide both sides by 8.

x=\dfrac{200}{8}

x=25

Therefore, the correct option is C.

You are standing 60 feet from the base of a 20-foot tall flagpole. What is 1
Rasek [7]

Answer: The angle of elevation is 18.4 degrees (Approximately)

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for more details.

The pole from top to  bottom is 20 feet tall and is depicted as line FB. An observer is standing at a distance of 20 feet from the base of the pole, and that is depicted as line BA. The observer who is at point A looks up to the top of the flagpole at an angle of elevation shown as angle A.

Using angle A as the reference angle, line FB which is 20 feet would be the opposite (facing the reference angle), while line BA which is 60 feet would be the adjacent (that lies between the right angle and the reference angle).

Therefore, to calculate angle A;

Tan A = Opposite/Adjacent

Tan A = 20/60

Tan A = 1/3

Tan A = 0.3333

Checking with your calculator or table of values,

A = 18.4349°

Rounded to the nearest tenth,

A ≈ 18.4°
