Answer:
ok, so i've never done this before, but i think i know how you do it. So first, find out the area of the whole triangle place in the circle shown on the diagram. Then, the area in the triangle that's not purple is what you need to subtract from the whole piece, i hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
150/25=6 because 25 can go into 150 6 times
Answer: x ≈ 18 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use our trig knowledge to solve this.
The man is standing 10 ft away, but we also need to add the 5 ft shadow as well as that is a point on our triangle.
We can set up a simple trig equation of: tan(50) = x/15
x being the height of the lamppost.
Now we solve.
tan(50) = 1.1918
1.1918 *15 = x
x = 17.876
Now round to the nearest foot.
x ≈ 18 ft
