Answers:

x = 8

y = 15*sqrt(2)

===========================================================

Explanation:

This is a 45-45-90 triangle. The right triangle is isosceles.

This means the two legs 3x-9 and x+7 are the same length

3x-9 = x+7

3x-x = 7+9

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

If x = 8, then each leg is...

3x-9 = 3(8)-9 = 24-9 = 15

x+7 = 8+7 = 15

Each leg is 15 units long to help confirm we have the correct x value.

---------------

The hypotenuse y is exactly sqrt(2) times that of the leg length.

Therefore, y = 15*sqrt(2) since earlier we found each leg is 15 units long.

15*sqrt(2) = 21.213 approximately

Answer:

The distance you are from the base of plateau = $99.97\ m\approx 100\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of plateau = 70 m

Angle of elevation to the top of plateau = 35°

To find the distance you are from the base of plateau.

We will construct a triangle ABC to model the given situation. The triangle would be a right triangle for which we know an angle and its opposite side. We need to find the adjacent side of the triangle.

We will apply trigonometric ratio to find the adjacent side.

$\tan\theta=\frac{Opposite\ Side}{Adjacent\ Side}$

where $\theta$ represents the angle of reference.

Plugging in the values from the triangle.

$\tan 35\° =\frac{BC}{AC}$

$\tan 35\° =\frac{70}{AC}$

Multiplying both sides by AC.

$AC\times \tan 35\° =AC\times \frac{70}{AC}$

$AC\times \tan 35\° =70$

Dividing both sides by $\tan 35\°$

$\frac{AC\times \tan 35\°}{\tan 35\°} =\frac{70}{\tan 35\°}$

∴ $AC=99.97\ m\approx 100\ m$

The distance you are from the base of plateau = $99.97\ m\approx 100\ m$
