here is the correct answer
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is not complete. A similar question is attached and is solved.
Solution:
A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are scalene, acute, obtuse, isosceles, equilateral and right angled triangle.
A right angled triangle is a triangle with one angle equal to 90 degrees. The longest side of a right angled triangle is known as the hypotenuse. Trigonometric identities is used to show the relationship between the angles and sides of a right angled triangle, i.e.:
sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse; cosθ = adjacent / hypotenuse; tanθ = opposite / adjacent
From the image:
let the distance from jack to the base of the building be x, hence:
tan60 = x / 60
x = 60 * tan60 = 104 ft.
Answer: 8x+24
Step-by-step explanation:
They are similar. Set the proportions equal to each other
(x + 8)/8 = (x+14)/12
Cross multiply
(x + 8)/8 (8)(12) = (x + 14)/12 (12)(8)
12(x + 8) = 8(x + 14)
Distribute the 12 and 8 to the corresponding monomials inside the parenthesis
12(x + 8) = 12x + 96
8(x + 14) = 8x + 112
12x + 96 = 8x + 112
Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides and 96 from both sides
12x (-8x) + 96 (-96) = 8x (-8x) + 112 (-96)
12x - 8x = 112 - 96
4x = 16
Isolate the equal sign. Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4
