Answer:12.59

Step-by-step explanation:

enter image source here

From the diagram you can see that we have constructed a right triangle, with height A and base 15.

Length of shadow = 15 feet.

Height of flagpole = A.

We know the angle of elevation is

40

∘

. Using this angle and the tangent ratio, we can find A.

ASAP The tee for the fourth hole on a golf course is 300 yards from the tee. On that hole, Marsha hooked her ball to the left, a
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

C. 97.5 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between Marsha, the ball and the tee for the fourth hole, forms a triangle.

Thus, the distance between Marsha's ball and the hole can be calculated using the Cosine formula below:

c² = a² + b² - 2abcos(C)

Where,

c = distance between Marsha's ball and the hole = ?

a = distance between the tee for the fourth hole and the tee = 300 yd

b = distance between tee and the hole = 255 yd

C = 18°

c² = 300² + 255² - 2(300)(255)cos(18)

c² = 90000 + 65025 - 153000 × 0.951

c² = 155025 - 145503

c² = 9522

c = √9522 ≈ 97.5

c = distance between Marsha’s ball and the hole = 97.5 yd (nearest tenth)

At what point does a line with a slope of 34 and a y-intercept of -5 intersect a line with a slope of −14 and a y-intercept of 3
maw [93]
Set them into slope-intercept forms of equations then set those equations equal to each other and solve for x and y.  y = 34x - 5 and y = -14x+3.  Set those equal to each other, solve for x to get x = 1/6.  Sub in that x value to get y = 2/3.  The point where they intersect is the solution of the system; in other words, where on both lines we have the exact same (x, y) value.
