cost of pencil = x = 0.07

and cost of eraser = y = 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

let cost of pencil = x

and cost of eraser = y

So, we have equations:

4x+3y=0.37\\3x+4y=0.33

Solving both equations to find value of x and y

Let:

4x+3y=0.37\,\,\,eq(1)\\3x+4y=0.33\,\,\,eq(2)

Multiply eq(1) with 4 and eq(2) with 3 and subtract

16x+12y=1.48\\9x+12y=0.99\\-\,\,\,-\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,-\\--------\\7x=0.49\\x=0.07

Putting value of x in equation 1:

4x+3y=0.37\\4(0.07)+3y=0.37\\0.28+3y=0.37\\3y=0.37-0.28\\3y=0.09\\y=0.03

So, x= 0.07 and  y = 0.03

cost of pencil = x = 0.07

and cost of eraser = y = 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

from the topic angle of elevation and depression

putting down the above question diagrammatically

we have a triangle

The angle of elevation pad looking up = 38°

using the tangent rule TOA

TAN∅= OPPOSITE/ADJACENT

we have

tan 38° = x/5

x= tan 38° × 5

x= 0.781 * 5

x = 3.906m
