Answer:
32√5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the right triangles PQA and PQB as well as the given right triangle QAB.
cot(PAQ) = 2/5 = QA/PQ
cot(PBQ) = 3/5 = QB/PQ
cot(PAQ) / cot(PBQ) = (2/5) / (3/5) = 2/3
cot(PAQ) / cot(PBQ) = (QA/PQ) / (QB/PQ) = QA / QB
QA / QB = 2/3
QA = (2/3) QB
QB = (3/2) QA
By the Pythagorean Theorem we have:
(QA)² + 32² = (QB)²
(QA)² + 32² = (3/2 QA)²
(QA)² + 1024 = (9/4) (QA)²
(5/4) (QA)² = 1024
(QA)² = (4/5)1024 = 4096/5
QA = 64/√5
Solve for PQ.
cot(PAQ) = QA/PQ
PQ = QA / cot(PAQ)
PQ = (64/√5) / (2/5) = 32√5
The height of the tower is 32√5.
X=2
you multiply by 8 on both sides. so that your equation now looks like x-2=0
then you will add by 2 on both sides.
x=2
Answer:
yep this kinda hard!!!!!!!!!!!!?!??!
Answer:
x<0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
this is just like simplifiying equations if you've done that before
first you want to isolate the variable, so you want to combine the values of x (in this case it's 6x and the -2x)
so you can either add 2x to both sides or you can subtract 6x on both sides, in this case ill just add 2x to both sides.
Then you subtract 3 from both sides to get 8x<4
after you get that, you want to divide both sides by 8, and you generally want to do that step last, it makes it easier, and you get x<1/2 or 0.5
just a reminder that with working with inequalities, you want to remember to flip the direction the inequality is whenever you divide by a negative number
