Answer:
10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
define variables:
y= height of the boards
x= distance to corner
we are trying to figure out what x is since we know the height of the board
4= 0.4x
divide both sides by 0.4
10=x
First, do 40 - 12 = 28 (Subtract the change), then do 28 / 7 to get 4, so then we do the cans times 3 to see how many individual balls he has, which would be 12
For (-7,3) and (5,3) the answer is 12. You add the different points, -7 and 5 because one is negative and one is positive. You do not add 3 and 3 because they are the same.
(3,-6) and (3,-10) = 4 because -6 and -10 are negatives. The answer is always positive.
(8,0) and (8,-8) = 8.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Refer to attached picture</em>
- The height = h
- Angles of elevation 22.6° and 38.3°
- Closer distance = d
<u>Use tangent to solve</u>
- tan 22.6° = h/(d + 17) ⇒ h = (d + 17) tan 22.6° ⇒ h = 0.42(d + 17)
- tan 38.3° = h/d ⇒ h = d tan 38.3° ⇒ h = 0.79d
<u>Compare the equations above and find the value of d:</u>
- 0.42(d + 17) = 0.79d
- 0.42d + 7.14 = 0.79d
- 0.79d - 0.42d = 7.14
- 0.37 d = 7.14
- d = 7.14/0.37
- d = 19.3 m
<u>Now find the value of h:</u>
- h = 0.79d
- h = 0.79*19.3
- h = 15

Let's eliminate x. To achieve this, mult. the 2nd equation by 2, obtaining
-8x + 2y = 10. Now add this result to the first equation:
8x-2y= -10
-8x + 2y = 10
---------------------
0
The two equations actually represent the same line. Without an x- or a y-value, we cannot solve for the value of the other variable. There are infinitely many solutions.
