Answer:
2.5477 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer the image attached to understand my solution.
BC = height of lamppost.
DE = Julia
AD = shadow of Julia
BD = 2 feet. AD = 5 feet
BA = BD + AD
= 2 + 5 = 7 feet
In ΔABC
tan 20° =
BC = 7 * tan 20°
BC = 2.5477 feet
SO the height of lamppost = 2.5477 feet
7x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
add all the sides of the pentagon and make it equal to the perimeter of the square which is 4y
sides of the pentagon are
5x+3
2x+3
7x+4
9x-10
5x+8
28x+8=4y
7x+2 = y
7x+2 = answer

another way :
in a standardized test you may want to use real numbers
make x equal a prime number like 3
so then the sides are
18
9
25
17
23
=
92
then divide by 4
23
then divide by 3
which is 7 remainder of 2
which is
7x+2
