Answer:
(i) x° = 70°, y° = 20°
(ii) ∠BAC ≈ 50.2°
(iii) 120
(iv) 300
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) Angle x° is congruent with the one marked 70°, as they are "alternate interior angles" with respect to the parallel north-south lines and transversal AB.
x = 70
The angle marked y° is the supplement to the one marked 160°.
y = 20
__
(ii) The triangle interior angle at B is x° +y° = 70° +20° = 90°, so triangle ABC is a right triangle. With respect to angle BAC, side BA is adjacent, and side BC is opposite. Then ...
tan(∠BAC) = BC/BA = 120/100 = 1.2
∠BAC = arctan(1.2) ≈ 50.2°
__
(iii) The bearing of C from A is the sum of the bearing of B from A and angle BAC.
bearing of C = 70° +50.2° = 120.2°
The three-digit bearing of C from A is 120.
__
(iv) The bearing of A from C is 180 added to the bearing of C from A:
120 +180 = 300
The three-digit bearing of A from C is 300.
Observe attached picture.
On picture we have:
A = height of flagpole = x ft
B = length of flagpole's shadow = 24 ft
C = height of sign = 6 ft
D = length of sign's shadow = 3 ft
When we draw a picture representing this problem we can also add another line marked in red. This way we can see that we have two right-angle triangles. We can see that both have same angle marked with α.
We can apply trigonometry rules to find height of flagpole.
From small triangle containing sign we can find tangens function:
Similarly we can do for large triangle containing flagpole:
We see that these two equations have same left sides. This means that their right sides must also be same:
We can solve for A:
Height of flagpole is 48 feet.

Answer
In geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two straight lines in a plane that do not intersect at any point are said to be parallel.
