Answer:

y = 240.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use trigonometric ratio to find y:

Thus,

Reference angle = 90° - 31° = 59°

Opposite = 400 ft

Adjacent = y

Therefore:

Tan 59° = 400/y

Multiply both sides by y

y*tan 59 = 400

Divide both sides by tan 59

y = 400/tan 59

y = 240.3 ft (to the nearest tenth)

Solve the proportion

mario62 [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf x = 5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Solve \: for \: x \: over \: the \: real \: numbers: \\ \sf \implies \frac{2}{x - 3} = \frac{5}{x} \\ \\ \sf Take \: the \: reciprocal \: of \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x - 3}{2} = \frac{x}{5} \\ \\ \sf Expand \: out \: terms \: of \: the \: left \: hand \: side: \\ \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{x}{5} \\ \\ \sf Subtract \: \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - ( \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} ) = \frac{x}{5} - ( \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} ) \\ \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{x}{5} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{x}{5} - \frac{x}{5} + \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{x}{5} - \frac{x}{5} = 0 : \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2} = 0: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} = \frac{5x - 2x}{10} = \frac{3x}{10} : \\ \sf \implies \frac{3x}{10} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf Multiply \: both \: sides \: by \: \frac{10}{3} : \\ \sf \implies \frac{3x}{10} \times \frac{10}{3} = \frac{3}{2 } \times \frac{10}{3} \\ \\ \sf \frac{3x}{10} \times \frac{10}{3} = \cancel{\frac{3}{10} } \times( x) \times \cancel{ \frac{10}{3} } = x : \\ \sf \implies x = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{10}{3} \\ \\ \sf \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{10}{3} = \cancel{ \frac{3}{2} } \times \cancel{ \frac{3}{2} } \times 5 : \\ \sf \implies x = 5$
