Answer: 84.1m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the flagpole be represented by x.

First and foremost, we have to know that the cosine of 18° = 0.9511.

The equation to get the height will then be:

0.9511 = 80/x

Cross multiply

(0.9511 × x) = 80

0.9511x = 80

Divide both side by 0.9511

0.9511x/0.9511 = 80/0.9511

x = 84.1

The height of the flagpole is 84.1m

____ [38]

Answer:

y = 5x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

a general line is represented by the equation:

y = mx + n

a line with m=5, that goes through (-1,-2), should satisfy the equation:

-2 = 5×(-1) + n

this is because any point on the line, satisfies it's equation.

from this we get n = 3, hence our answer

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Y1 intercept = 2

(0,2) (3,-7)

m= (-7 - 2) / (3-0) =-9/3 = - 3

Then y = - 3x + 2

Y2 intercept = - 8

(0,-8) (3,-7)

m = (-7 - - 8) / (3-0) = 1/3

Then y= (1/3)x-8
