The equation was just flipped around, it will equal the same no matter what.
I hope this helps!! :)
Look at the picture.
Use the Pythagorean Teorem:
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 14) + (x + 12) = 12
Combine like terms
2x + 26 = 12
Subtract 26 from both sides
2x = -14
Divide both sides by 2
x = -7
Answer:
Let x be her initial distance from the building, then tan 37 = 130/x
x = 130/tan 37 = 130/0.7536 = 172.5 feet
Let y be her distance from the building after moving forward, then
tan 40 = 130/y
y = 130/tan 40 = 130/0.8391 = 154.9
After moving forward, she is 172.5 - 154.9 = 17.6 ft closer.
