Mathematics

SpyIntel [72]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 9.6 meters

y = 20.98 meters

Shadow length = 11.38 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying tangent rule in right triangle ABD,

tan(21)° = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}

tan(21) = \frac{x}{25}

x = 25(tan 21)

x = 9.5966

x ≈ 9.60 meters

Similarly, by applying tangent rule in ΔABC,

tan(40)° = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}

tan(40)° = \frac{BC}{AB}

tan(40)° = \frac{y}{25}

y = 25(tan 40°)

y = 20.98 meters

Length of the shadow of the man = y - x

                                                        = 20.98 - 9.60

                                                        = 11.38 meters

Molodets [167]

Answer:

D:21

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the vertical angles equation.

4x + 13 = 5x - 8

Subtract 4x from 5x.

5x - 4x = x

13 = x - 8

Add 8 on both dies.

13 + 8 = 21

x = 21

JKLM has x that equals 21.

<JKLM and <LMJK equal 97 degrees.

Hope it helped!

What is the minimum number of x intercepts that a polynomial of degree 11 can? have?
stiks02 [169]

The degree of the polynomial will tell you the max amount of zeros you will have. 11 in this case.

However you can also have 9,7,5,3,1 (keep subtracting by 2)

So the answer is 1.
