Notice that you have
a
=

,
b
=

, and
c
=

Hello :
<span> x+2/3=9
x =9-2/3
(answer : </span><span>C)x=9 - 2/3</span>
I would solve this using tangents. Let h be height of flagpole.
Set up 2 right triangles, each with a base of 40.
The larger triangle has height of "h+70"
Smaller triangle has height of 70.
Now write the tangent ratios:

Note: A-B = 9
To solve for h we need to use the "Difference Angle" formula for Tangent

Plug in what we know:



B) No, set of side lengths does not satisfy Triangle Inequality Theorem
