Answer:

40 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of fence = 8 feets

Shadow of fence = 14.5 feets

Shadow of cell phone tower = 72.5 feets

Height of cell phone tower = x

Height of fence = shadow of fence

Height of tower = shadow of tower

8 feets= 14.5 feets

x feets = 72.5

Cross multiply :

(14.5 * x) = (72.5 * 8)

14.5x = 580 feets

x = 580/14.5

x = 40 feets

Hence, the height of the cell phone tower is 40 feets

∠x and ∠y are supplementary angles. ∠y measures 97੦ What is the measure of ∠x?
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

83 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles are two angles whose sums add up to 180 degrees. Since you have one angle that is 97 degrees and one that is unknown, you can just subtract 97 from 180.

180 - 97 = 83 degrees
