Solve for d:
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c is equivalent to 2 d - 3 c = (3 (a + x))/b:
2 d - 3 c = (3 (a + x))/b
Add 3 c to both sides:
2 d = 3 c + (3 (a + x))/b
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer: d = (3 c)/2 + (3 (a + x))/(2 b)
-----------------------------
Solve for x:
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c
Multiply both sides by b/3:
a + x = (2 b d)/3 - b c
Subtract a from both sides:
Answer: x = (2 b d)/3 + (-a - b c)
____________________________
Solve for b:
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c
Take the reciprocal of both sides:
b/(3 (a + x)) = 1/(2 d - 3 c)
Multiply both sides by 3 (a + x):
Answer: b = (3 (a + x))/(2 d - 3 c)
Her next step is to repeat the last process of drawing those two arcs. However, they will be mirrored since she swapped endpoints.
Check out the diagram below. Figure 1 is what she already has. Figure 2 is what happens after completing the next step. The red and blue arcs intersect to help form the endpoints of the perpendicular bisector. I used GeoGebra to make the diagrams.
As the ratio of your shadow to your height is 2:1 assuming the flagpole would form a similar triangle the shadow is twice the height of the pole meaning the pole is 14 feet tall
Elena is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because a straight angle is always equal to 180 therefore in order to find the value of *w* you would have to add up to angles that are given and subtract them from 180, or in this case add up all the angles including *w* to get 180.
