Answer:
x = 5.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 7.2 by 3/4 to find the equivalent ratio.
1. 3/7
2. 4/7
3. 4 in 52 or 1 in 13.
4. I don't know sorry
Use similar triangles
distance of man from puddle = 0.5 m.
distance of puddle from tower = 13 - 0.5 = 12.5 meters
so we have 2 similar triangles
one has height 2 m and base 0.5 m and the other has height x m ( the tower) and base 12.5 m
Corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so
2 / x = 0.5 / 12.5
0.5x = 2*12.5 = 25
x = 25 / 0.5 = 50 m
The tower is approx 50 m high.
Answer: x=3-2y/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You just have to try to isolate one variable
<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>
According to the statement of the question, we can assemble the following system of equation:
X · Y = - 2 i
X + Y = 7 ii
isolating X from i and replacing in ii:
X · Y = - 2
X = - 2/Y
X + Y = 7
(- 2/Y) + Y = 7 <em>multiplying everything by Y</em>
(- 2Y/Y) + Y·Y = 7·Y
- 2 + Y² = 7X <em> rearranging everything</em>
Y² - 7X - 2 = 0 <em>2nd degree equation</em>
Δ = b² - 4·a·c
Δ = (- 7)² - 4·1·(- 2)
Δ = 49 + 8
Δ = 57
X = (- b ± √Δ)/2a
X' = (- (- 7) ± √57)/2·1
X' = (7 + √57)/2
X' = (7 - √57)/2
So, the numbers are:
<h2>
(7 + √57)/2</h2>
and
<h2>
(7 - √57)/2</h2>
