Answer:
The height of the pole is 167 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
Increase in the length of the shadow = 90 m
Initial angle of elevation of the Sun = 58°
Final angle of elevation of the Sun = 36°
We have a triangle formed by the change in the length of the shadow and the rays from the two angle of elevation to the top of the pole giving an angle 22° opposite to the increase in the length of the shadow
We have by sin rule;
90/(sin (22°) = (Initial ray from the top of the pole to the end of the shadow's length)/(sin(122°)
Let the initial ray from the top of the pole to the end of the shadow's length = l₁
90/(sin (22°) = l₁/(sin(122°)
l₁ = 90/(sin (22°) ×(sin(122°) = 283.3 m
Therefore;
The height of the pole = 283.3 m × sin(36°) = 166.52 m
The height of the pole= 167 m to three significant figures.
X + y = 1.....multiply by -2
2x - 3y = -30
-----------------
-2x - 2y = -2 (result of multiplying by -2)
2x - 3y = -30
----------------add
-5y = -32
y = -32/-5
y = 32/5 or 6.4 <===
Answer:
Tom weighs 70 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
first, you have to set up your equation which would be, x + 3x = 280.
The x stands for Tom's weight and the 3x stands for three times Tom's weight for the dad. You would then add your like terms, then divide by 4 to get 70.
x + 3x = 280
4x = 280
280/4 = 70
x = 70
Hope this helps!
