Answer:
18.7939 m
Step-by-step explanation:
-Let x be the distance between John and clock tower.
-Let y be the vertical distance from the eyes of the two men standing to the top of the clock tower.
#Taking the right triangle ACD:

#Taking the right triangle ABD:

#We equate the two yo solve for x and y;

Hence, John's distance from the tower's base is 18.7939 m
Answer:
A) p = 2x - 4 for the expression. B) Your team scored 44 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <u>P</u> represent the points your team made.
Since the question says "Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points as the other team." this is how I came up with the expression.
p = 2x - 4 ( our points = 2 times more then the other teams points minus 4.
Using this expression and the given information that the other team made 24 points, I solved B.
44 = 2(24) - 4.
Answer: False
"Depreciating" means "going down", so the value is decreasing. The value of A will always be smaller than C. For example, if the item is worth $100 today and it drops to $80, then it depreciates in value. In this example, C = 100 and A = 80 so A > C is false
