Answer: 61.16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think in this situation as a triangle rectangle.

where:

The height of the tree is one cathetus

The shadow of the tree is the other cathetus.

We know that the angle of elevation of the sun is 78°, an angle of elevation is measured from the ground, then the adjacent cathetus to this angle is the shadow of the tree. And the opposite cathetus will be the height of the tree.

Now we can remember the relationship:

Tg(A) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

Where:

A = 78°

Adjacent cathetus = 13ft

opposite cathetus = height of the tree = H

Then we have the equation:

Tg(78°) = H/13ft

Tg(78°)*13ft = H = 61.16 ft

How do you solve 125 - (5-9)^3÷2
hoa [83]
Solve what is in parenthesis first (5-9) = -4

Solve exponents next -4^3 = -64

Divide next
- 64 \div 2
= -32

Lastly, subtract and resolve the negatives which become a positive number 125 - (-32) = 125 + 32 = 157

F(3) if f(x) = 2x + 4
Sliva [168]
It would be 10
You substitute “x”for “3” so the equation would be 2(3) + 4. Then you multiply 2 and 3, which is 6. Finally add the 4 to get 10.

Identify a possible first step using the elimination method to solve the system and then find the solution to the system. 3x - 5
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - 5y = - 2 → (1)

2x + y = 3 → (2)

Multiply (2) by 5 will eliminate y when added to (1), that is

10x + 5y = 15 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term

(3x + 10x) + (- 5y + 5y) = (- 2 + 15)

13x = 13 ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into (2) for corresponding value of y

2 + y = 3 ⇒ y = 3 - 2 = 1

Solution is (1, 1)
