Answer:
114 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there.
Line segment LN is a straight line, meaning that it contains a straight angle (an angle measuring 180 degrees).
We know that if this is a straight angle, that
.
Therefore, m∠x = 114 degrees.
Hope this helps! :^)
5 miles high is one of the sides of a triangle depending on accuracy level
h^2=x^2+y^2
we don't have 2 distances
Tan A=O/a
O=a tan A
We solve for O because the angle is at the top of the line going up and we want the opposite angle that is along the ground
O=5×tan(173.7/2)=90.854033512
The distance he can see is:
90.85*2~181.7 miles
Now we need to find the distance between lines:
The north south distance between each line is 69 miles
thus the number of degrees he will see will be:
181.7/69
=2 19/30
3(x-1) = 2x - y
3x-3 = 2x-y
3x-2x+y = 3
x + y = 3 ----> (1)
2(x+y) = 3+3y
2x + 2y = 3 + 3y
2x + 2y - 3y = 3
2x - y = 3 -----> (2)
make equation (1) and (2) together
x + y + 2x - y = 3+3
3x = 6
x = 2
now make x = 2 in equation (1)
x + y = 3
2 + y = 3
y = 3-2
y = 1
(x,y) = (2,1)
