Answer:  36 feet

==================================================

Work Shown:

(sign height)/(sign shadow) = (pole height)/(pole shadow)

8/2 = x/9

8*9 = 2*x ... cross multiply

72 = 2x

2x = 72

x = 72/2 ... divide both sides by 2

x = 36

The utility pole is 36 feet tall.

Solve the following system of equations by elimination​
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

y = -6

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 2y = -13

-x - 2y = 11

Sum the equations:

-x -x = -2x

+2y - 2y = 0

-13 + 11 = -2

then

-2x = -2

x = -2/-2

x = 1

from the first eq.

-x + 2y = -13

-1 + 2y = -13

2y = -13 + 1

2y = -12

y = -12/2

y = -6

check:

from the second eq.

-x -2y = 11

-1 -(2*-6) = 11

-1 -(-12) = 11

-1 + 12 = 11

Find, correct to the nearest degree, the three angles of the triangle with the given vertices.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

angle CAB = 113.8 degree

angle ABC = 35.6 degree

angle BCA = 30.6 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

A(1, 0, −1),

B(5, −3, 0),

C(1, 5, 2)

calculate the length of side by using the distance formula

so

AB = (5,-3,0) - (1,0,-1) = (4,-3,1)

AC= (1,5,2) - (1,0,-1) = (0,5,3)

|AB|

|AC| =\sqrt {(0 + 5^2+3^2)} = \sqrt{34}

From following formula, calculate the angle between the two side i.e Ab and AC

AB.AC = |AB|*|AC| cos ∠CAB

(4,-3,1).(0,5,3)

4*0 -3*5 +1*3

-12 =

cos ∠CAB = - 0.404

angle CAB = 113.8 degree

BA =B- A =  (1,0,-1) - (5,-3,0) = (-4,3,-1)

BC = (1,5,2)-(5,-3,0) = (-4,8,2)

|BA| = \sqrt{(26)}

|BC| = \sqrt {(4^2 + 8^2 + 2^2)} = \sqrt{(84)}

BA.BC = |BA|*|BC|* cosABC

(-4,3,-1).(-4,8,2) =\sqrt{(26)} * \sqrt{(84)} *cosABC

16+24-2

cos ∠ABC = 0.813

angle ABC = 35.6 degree

we know sum of three angle in a traingle is 180 degree hence

sum of all three angle = 180

angle BCA + 35.6 + 113.8 = 180

angle BCA = 30.6 degree

Which of the following is equivalent to 2 ln e^ln 5x = 2 ln 15?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

x  = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question an equation,

2lne^{ln5x}=2ln15

Step 1

e^{lnx}=x

so,

2ln(5x)=2ln15

Step 2

cancel 2 on both sides of the equation

ln{5x}=ln15

Step 3

ln{5x}-ln15=0

ln\frac{5x}{15}=0

Step 4

ln\frac{x}{3}=0

Step 5

e^{ln\frac{x}{3}}=e^{0}

Step 6

x/3 = 1

x = 3(1)

x = 3
