Answer: From the 60° angle, the flagpole is the opposite side and the shadow is the adjacent side of the triangle.
tangent 60° = opposite/adjacent
so
tan 60° = 20/x
multiply both sides by x and you have
x · tan60° = 20
divide both sides by tan 60° and you have
x = 20/tan60°
x = 11.5 ft.
if this is wrong sorry don’t be mad but if it’s right then hope this helps
Answer:
Please find attached the required inverse of a function chart
Step-by-step explanation:
The inverse of a function is found by reversing the operations of the function
The inverse of the function f(x) = 2·x - 4 is found as follows;
x = 2·x - 4
x + 4 = 2·x
x = (x + 4)/2 = x/2 + 2
Therefore, the inverse of the function f(x) = 2·x - 4 is f(x) = x/2 + 2
The inverse function is plotted by generating data points as follows;
x f(x)
0 2
1 2.5
2 3
3 3.5
4 4
5 4.5
6 5
7 5.5
8 6
9 6.5
10 7
11 7.5
12 8
13 8.5
14 9
15 9.5

-x+6 ??? im not 100% sure
To solve for x we can use trigonometry since the triangle above is right triangle.
In this problem, it would be the easiest to use the TOA ratio which means the tangent of 62 equals x/40. To get x alone, we can multiply both sides by 40 leaving us with:
x = tan. 62 x 40
x = 1.88072646535 x 40
x = <span>75.229058614
Final Answer: x is around 75 yards</span>
