Answer: The flagpole is about 22.3 feet tall.
This is roughly the size of a two story building, assuming each floor is 10 feet or so.
Since this height is under 25 ft, this flagpole is in compliance with the regulation.
=====================================================
Work Shown:
The horizontal leg of the triangle is 36 ft. This is the adjacent leg to the reference angle 25 degrees.
The vertical leg of the triangle is x-5.5, and this leg is the opposite side to the reference angle 25 degrees.
Use the tangent rule to connect the opposite and adjacent sides.
Solve for x.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(25) = (x-5.5)/36
36*tan(25) = x-5.5
x-5.5 = 36*tan(25)
x = 36*tan(25)+5.5
x = 22.28707569358
x = 22.3 ft is the approximate height of the flagpole
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
The height is not over 25 ft, so this flagpole meets the requirements.
Allison ran 3/8 km (0.375 km) in 3 minutes.
Set up a proportion to find how long it takes for her to run 1 km
Cross multiply to get:
Solve:
x = 8 minutes
If you rounded it it would be 4.6
Answer:36
Step-by-step explanation:
18×2= 36 because if each got halfed, each half would equal one sandwich so there would be 36 sandwiches
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-47=65
3x=65+47
3x=112
x=37.3
