Answer:
777.9 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that the angles of the right triangle are 40 and 50 degrees, with the 500 meter side adjacent to the 50 degree angle. Now, we can set up an equation: cos (50 degrees) = 500 / x. Use a calculator to find that the answer is 777.9.
Times 2nd equation by 2
add to first equation
3x+6y=6
<u>4x-6y=8 +</u>
7x+0y=14
7x=14
divide both sides by 7
x=2
sub back
2x-3y=4
2(2)-3y=4
4-3y=4
minus 4 both sideds
-3y=0
y=0
(x,y)
(2,0)
Substitute y in the first equation.
-8x = -x - 14
+x +x
-7x = -14
-7x/-7 = -14/-7
x = 2
Now solve for y.
y = -18(2)
y = -36
Answer: (2, -36) or y = -36 and x = 2
