Answer:
y = root under 24 (evaluate it if necessary)
or y = 2 root 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the reference angle be x
for the triangle in left,
b = 6-4 = 2
Now,
taking x as refrence angle,
cosx = b/h
or, cosx = 2/h
again,
for the bigger triangle,
taking x as reference angle,
cosx = b/h
or, cosx = b/6
As we can see base of bigger triangle is equal to hypotenuse of triangle at the left,
Let's suppose its a
so, cosx = a/6 = 2/a
now,
a/6 = 2/a
or, a² = 12
now,
for bigger triangle, using pythagoras theorem,
h² = p²+b²
or, 6² = y² + a²
or, 36 = y² + 12
or, y² = 24
so, y = root under 24
5-1 x 20=56/56 x 90/56 54/67=67

"<span>Paula is now four times the age of Lynn. Lynn will be 16 in 10 years. How old was Paula four years ago?"
If Lynn will turn sixteen in ten years, she must be 6 at the current moment:
16-10=6
Since Paula is 4 times the age of Lynn, Paula must be:
6(4)
=24
24-4
=20
Paula was 20 years old, 4 years ago.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
-24+12(d-3)+22=-24+34(d-3)
10(d-3)
10d=-30
d=-30/10
d=3
This problem is solely on right triangles, wherein the Pythagorean theorem may be applied. We must first find the angle of elevation of the flagpole using Tim's height and the difference between the shadow of the flagpole and Tim's distance from the flagpole. Therefore tan a = 1.65/(16.6-12.5) where a=21.68 degrees. We use this angle to determine the height of the flagpole. tan 21.68 = x/ 16.6 where x=height of flagpole=6.6 meters.
