Answer: x ≈ 18 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use our trig knowledge to solve this.
The man is standing 10 ft away, but we also need to add the 5 ft shadow as well as that is a point on our triangle.
We can set up a simple trig equation of: tan(50) = x/15
x being the height of the lamppost.
Now we solve.
tan(50) = 1.1918
1.1918 *15 = x
x = 17.876
Now round to the nearest foot.
x ≈ 18 ft
<h2><u>EQUATION</u></h2><h3>Exercise</h3>
2(3 + 3y) + y = 11
First, apply the distributive property:
2(3 + 3y) + y = 11
6 + 6y + y = 11
6 + 7y = 11
Substract 6 from both sides:
6 - 6 + 7y = 11 - 6
7y = 5
Divide both sides by 7:
<h3><u>Answer</u>. The value of y = 5/7.</h3>
