Two walls of a canyon form the walls of a steady flowing river. From a point on the shorter wall, the angle of elevation to the

top of the opposing wall is 20° and the angle of depression to the bottom of the opposing wall is 320 feet. Using the appropriate right triangle solving strategies, solve for the following: (Do not round intermediate calculated values. Only the final answer should be rounded to one decimal place.)

Answer:

x is approximately 226.3 feet

y is approximately 308.6 feet

z is approximately 226.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the walls are;

The angle of elevation from the top of the shorter wall to the top of the opposing wall, θ₁ = 20°

From the diagram, the angle of depression from the top of the shorter wall to the bottom of the opposing wall, θ₂ = 45°

The distance from the bottom of the shorter wall to the base of the opposing wall, l = 320 feet

x = The height of the shorter wall = l × sin(θ₂)

∴ x = 320 feet × sin(45°) = 320 feet × (√2)/2 = 160·√2 feet ≈ 226.3 feet

∴ x ≈ 226.3 feet

By observation, we have;

y = x + z × tan(θ₁)

Where;

z = l × cos(θ₂)

∴ y = 160·√2 + 320 × cos(45°) × tan(20°) ≈ 308.6

y ≈ 308.6 feet

z =  l × cos(θ₂)

∴  z = 320 × cos(45°) = 160·√2 ≈ 226.3

z ≈ 226.3 feet.

Terry, Kevin and barry together have 215 marbles. Terry has 20 marbles more than Barry and kevin has 10 marbles more than Terry.
Zarrin [17]
Terry, Kevin and Barry have a total of 215 marbles.=> Terry has 20 marbles more than Barry = x + 20=> Kevin has 10 marbles more than Terry = (x + 20) + 10=> Barry = xSolutions:=> x + x + 20 + x + 20 + 10 = 215=> 3x + 50 = 215=> 3x = 215 - 50=> 3x = 165=> 3x / 3 = 165 / 3=> x = 55Barry have = 55Terry = 55 + 20 = 75<span>Kevin => 75 + 10 = 85</span>

Solve using system of equations algebraically<br> y=2x-3 <br> x+y=18
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

<em>(7, 11)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x - 3 .... (1)

x + y = 18 .... (2)

(1) ----> (2)

x + 2x - 3 = 18 ⇒ <u><em>x = 7</em></u>

y = 2(7) - 3 ⇒ <u><em>y = 11</em></u>

<em>(7, 11)</em>
