Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 1.5 to both sides:

5/2x-1.5+1.5=3.5+1.5

5/2x=5

Multiply both sides by 2/5

(2/5)*(5/2x)=(2/5)*(5)

Write. (0.25)³ as a multiplication

Colt1911 [192]

A number raised to an exponent is the number multiplied by itself the number of times the exponent is.

The exponent is 3, so this means 0.25 is multiplied by itself 3 times.

0.25^3 = 0.25 x 0.25 x 0.25

A statue is mounted on top of a 21 foot hill. From the base of the hill to where you are standing is 57feet and the statue subte

AleksandrR [38]

Please find the attached diagram for a better understanding of the question.

As we can see from the diagram,

RQ = 21 feet = height of the hill

PQ = 57 feet = Distance between you and the base of the hill

SR= h=height of the statue

$\angle SPR$ =Angle subtended by the statue to where you are standing.

$\angle x=\angle RPQ$ = which is unknown.

Let us begin solving now. The first step is to find the angle $\angle x$ which can be found by using the following trigonometric ratio in $\Delta PQR$ :

$tan(x)=\frac{RQ}{PQ} =\frac{21}{57}$

Which gives $\angle x$ to be:

$\angle x=tan^{-1}(\frac{21}{57})\approx20.22^{0}$

Now, we know that $\angle x$ and $\angle SPR$ can be added to give us the complete angle $\angle SPQ$ in the right triangle $\Delta SPQ$ .

We can again use the tan trigonometric ratio in $\Delta SPQ$ to solve for the height of the statue, h.

This can be done as:

$tan(\angle SPQ)=\frac{SQ}{PQ}$

$tan(7.1^0+20.22^0)=\frac{SR+RQ}{PQ}$

$tan(27.32^0)=\frac{h+21}{57}$

$\therefore h+21=57tan(27.32^0)$

$h\approx8.45 ft$

Thus, the height of the statue is approximately, 8.45 feet.
