Even though it has not happened yet again
Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
They are alternate interior angle
2x + 5 = 3x -2
2x = 3x -7
-x = -7
x = 7
Could just be used as a variable.
Howard is about 193.9 yards from the top of the reservoir.
This is a trigonometry problem. If you draw a picture of the situation, you will see that you have an adjacent side and need to know the hypotenuse.
That makes it a cosine problem:
cos(64) = 85/x
x = 85/cos(64)
x = 193.9
He is about 193.9 yards from the top of the reservoir.
