Answer:
∠RST = 120°
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the positions of the lines and angles will match the attached figure. The angle addition theorem gives a relation that can be solved for x, then for the value of angle RST.
∠RSU +∠UST = ∠RST
__
78° + (3x -12)° = (6x +12)° . . . . . substitute given values into the above
54 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 3x+12
108 = 6x . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2
120° = (6x +12)° = ∠RST . . . . add 12, show units
The measure of angle RST is 120 degrees.

Note that we don't actually need to know the value of x (18) in this problem. We only need to know the value of 6x.

Answer:
200
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
discriminant: 241
2 real roots
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant is the part of the quadratic equation that is under the sqare root
x=(-b±√(b²-4ac))/2a
discriminant: b²-4ac
We also know that a quadratic equation is in the form ax²+bx+c = 0, so we can plug in the values we know from our equation to find the discriminant.
a=4
b=-17
c=3
(-17)^2-4(4)(3)
We also know that if the discriminant
is positive we have 2 real roots
is 0 we have 1 real root aka a repeated real solution
is negative we have no real roots
Answer: The tree was 27 feet tall
Step-by-step Explanation: First of all Sally was standing 30 feet away from the tree and she looks up at an angle of elevation of 38 degrees to the top of the tree. With this bit of information we can determine that a right angled triangle has been formed with the reference angle as 38 degrees, the side facing it as h (the height of the tree) and the adjacent side as 30. We shall apply the trigonometric ratio as follows;
Tan 38 = opposite/adjacent
Tan 38 = h/30
0.7813 = h/30
0.7813 x 30 = h
23.4 = h
We remember at this point that Sally’s eyes were 4 feet above the ground. What we have just calculated is the height of the tree from “4 feet above the ground” (where her eyes were). Hence the actual height of the tree is calculated as 23.4 plus 4 which gives us 27.4
Therefore the tree was 27 feet tall (approximately to the nearest foot)
