Answer: 9.97
==============================================
Explanation:
y = distance from the base of the pole to the closest person
y+200 = total horizontal distance
-------------
Focus on the smaller right triangle.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(26) = 55/y
y*tan(26) = 55
y = 55/tan(26)
y = 112.76671 approximately
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
--------------
Now move to the larger right triangle
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(x) = 55/(y+200)
tan(x) = 55/(112.76671+200)
tan(x) = 55/312.76671
tan(x) = 0.17585
x = arctan(0.17585) same as 
x = 9.97349
x = 9.97 degrees approximately
Answer:
Rearrange the equations that result from use of the Pythagorean theorem.
Step-by-step explanation:
Transversal AB crossing parallel lines AD and BC makes supplementary interior same-side angles A and B. Since A = 90°, B must be 90°. The Pythagorean theorem then applies in the right triangles ABC and ABD.
We can use that theorem to write two expressions for AB^2:
BD^2 -AD^2 = AB^2 = AC^2 -BC^2
The middle expression, AB^2, isn't needed beyond this point. Adding (AD^2 -AC^2) to both sides of the equation gives the desired result:
BD^2 -AC^2 = AD^2 -BC^2
The number is -2
-2 + 4 = 2
2 is 2 less than 4
