Answer: We can use tangent here to find the length of the flagpole

First, find the length of the building + the flag pole

tan 32 = x/300

x=300tan32=187.460805573

(length of building + flagpole)

find length of building

tan 30 = x/300

x=173.205080757

subtract

187.460805573-173.205080757=14.255724816

round, length of flagpole = 14 feet

All you have to do is subtract 18.5 from 32 = 13.5 and then divide that number by 2 for each side of the poster, 13.5 / 2 = 6.75 inches

In ΔPQR, what is the m∠Q?.
charle [14.2K]

The sum of the 3 inside angles of a triangle needs to equal 180:

11x-5 + 6x + 5 + c = 180

Combine like terms:

18x = 180

Divide both sides by 18:

X = 10

Solve for Q:

11x -5= 11(10) -5 = 110-5 = 105 degrees
