Answer:

height of the flagpole = 93.26 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration  forms a right angle triangle. The angle of elevation from his eyes to the flag is 25° . The distance from his eyes at the ground to the base of the flagpole is 200 ft.

The adjacent side of the triangle formed is the distance of his eyes from the flagpole. The height of the flagpole is the opposite side of the right angle triangle formed.

using tangential ratio

tan 25° = opposite/adjacent

tan 25° = x/200

cross multiply

200 tan 25° = x

x = 200 × 0.46630765815

x = 93.261531631

x = 93.26 ft

height of the flagpole = 93.26 ft

Quick sell outlet sold a total of 40 televisions, each of which was either a model p television or a model q television. each mo
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The number of the television sets that is model p is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have total number of television sold = 40

The model p televisions sold for $30 less than the model q televisions

That is $P = $q - $30

Therefore

Let the quantity of the model p sold be X

Let the quantity of the model q sold be X

Therefore

x + y = 40

Total cost of the television = 40 * 141 = $5640

Therefore, 120*x + 90*y = 5640

Plugging in x = 40 - y in the above equation we get

4800 - 30y = 5640 or

y   = -28 and

x = 68

If we put y = 40 - x we get

30x + 3600 = 5640  

If we put

120*x + 150*y = 5640.........(3)

we get

x = 12 and y = 28

Therefore, since the model p sold for $30 less than the model q, from the solution of equation (3) the number of the television sets that is model p = 12

George weighs 60 pounds less than his older brother. Together they weigh 240 pounds. How many pounds does George weigh?
lyudmila [28]

Easy Algebra question!

Let's use "x" as a variable.

The equation would be x+x+60 = 240 with "x" being George's weight.

Subtract 60 from both sides and you get 2x = 180.

From there you divide both sides by 2, getting x=90.

"x" is George's weight, so he weighs 90 pounds.
