Answer:
8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First, draw a picture. The pole is 22 feet tall. Katherine is 5.5 feet tall. She is 24 feet from the pole. The light from the top of the pole to the tip of her shadow forms two similar right triangles. The length of her shadow is x.
Now use similar triangles to write a proportion:
22 / (24 + x) = 5.5 / x
Cross multiply:
22x = 5.5 (24 + x)
Distribute:
22x = 132 + 5.5x
Combine like terms:
16.5x = 132
Divide:
x = 8
The shadow is 8 feet long.
You would first distribute the 4 in the parenthesis and then you would add 7 to both sides and whatever you get you will have to divide it by 4 to find p. I hope that this hepls.
If you want the angle it’s 22
In all triangles the angles must add up to 180 so 68 + 90 =158 + 22 =180
Answer:
-3x^4 + 5x^3 - 33x^2 + 25x - 3

Answer: 30 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
ABC-tringle
BH= 8 in - height
S= 120 in^2
AC-?
Solution:
S=1/2ab
120in=1/2a*8in
120=4a
4a=120
a=30 in
