Y=7 is just a straight horizonal line that is perpendicular to the y axis at 7
and y=1/2x+6, is in y=mx+b form where m=slope and b=yintercept so
to find the intersection, yo just find when both sentances are correct so
y=7
subsitute that into y=1/2x+6
7=1/2x+6
subtract 6 from both sides
1=1/2x
multiply both sides by 2
2=x
so the point (2,7) is the intersection
X = 15
X + 90 = 7x
X = 7x - 90
X - 7x = -90
-6x = 90
Divide both sides by -6
X = 15
$2,900 you have to subtract from the $4,000 and it is $1,100 you have left
Hello!
As you can see, 22 is the opposite angle. We are looking for the adjacent angle. Let's just call it x. Using SOH CAH TOA, we see that the tangent is the opposite divided by the adjacent side. Let's use that.
tan54≈1.38
This gives us the equation below.
1.38=22/x
Let's solve this equation for x.
1.38x=22
x=22/1.38
x=15.94
Therefore, the length of the shadow is about 15.94 meters.
I hope this helps!
