Answer:

x = 9

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

0.8x = 7.2

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Divide both sides by 0.8:                    x = 9

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    0.8(9) = 7.2
  2. Multiply:                        7.2 = 7.2

7.2 does indeed equal 7.2. ∴ x = 9 is a solution.

And we have our final answer!

Angle of the Sun A 96-ft tree casts a shadow that is 120 ft long. What is the angle of elevation of the sun
scoray [572]

Answer:

The angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

height of the tree, h = 96 ft

length of the shadow, L = 120 ft

                                                   |

                                                   | 96ft

                                                   |

                                                   |

       θ------------------------------------

                    120ft

Completing this triangle to cut across the top of the tree gives you a right angled triangle with θ as the angle of elevation of the sun.

Apply trig-ratio to determine the angle of elevation of the sun;

tanθ = opposite side / adjacent side

tanθ = 96 / 120

tanθ = 0.8

θ = tan⁻¹(0.8)

θ = 38.7⁰

θ = 39⁰

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰

the area of a parallelogram shape land is on the square and length of its two adjacent sides are 25 m and 17 M find its diagonal
Alex787 [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw diagonal AC

The triangle ABC has sides 17 and 25

Say AB is 17, BC is 25

Draw altitude on side BC from A , say h

h = 17 sin B

Area = 25*17 sin B = 408

sin B = 24/25

In ∆ ABC

Cos B = +- 7/25

= 625 + 289 — b^2 / 2*25*17

b^2 = 914 — 14*17 = 676

b = 26

h = 17*24/25 = 408/25 = 16.32

Draw the second diagonal BD

In ∆ BCD, draw altitude from D, say DE =h

BD^2 = h^2 + {(25 + sqrt (289 -h^2) }^2

BD^2 = 16.32^2 + (25 + 4.76)^2

= 885.6576 + 266.3424

BD = √ 1152 = 33.94 m
