Answer: From the 60° angle, the flagpole is the opposite side and the shadow is the adjacent side of the triangle.

tangent 60° = opposite/adjacent  

so

tan 60°  = 20/x

multiply both sides by x and you have

x · tan60° = 20

divide both sides by tan 60° and you have

x = 20/tan60°

x = 11.5 ft.

if this is wrong sorry don’t be mad but if it’s right then hope this helps

Answer:

This decision is not statistically significant .

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis testing is set up so that you can prove a null hypothesis.  Therefore, when you do not find evidence against the null hypothesis, you fail to reject the null hypothesis or the result is not statistically significant.

1. is he equation true , false, or open
RideAnS [48]

Question 1:

For this case we have the following equation:

 5x ^ 2 = 6x + 11

We observe that the equation is a polynomial of the second degree.

Therefore, the equation has two possible solutions.

The variable of the equation for this case is x.

In this case, we have an open equation because we have a variable.

Rewriting the equation we have:

5x ^ 2 - 6x - 11 = 0

Answer:

open, there is a variable.


Question 2:

For this case we have the following equation:

 2-8x = -6

From here, we must clear the value of x.

For this, we follow the following steps:

1) Pass the value of 8x adding:

2 = -6 + 8x

2) Pass the value of 6 adding:

2 + 6 = 8x

3) Add the values ​​on the same side of equality:

 8x = 8

4) Pass the 8 to divide:

x = \frac{8}{8} = 1

Answer:

The value of x is given by:

x = 1


Question 3:

For this case we have the following equation:

 y = x-4

The ordered pair solution is the one that satisfies both sides of the equation.

For the point (6, 2) we have:

x = 6  y = 2

Substituting values ​​we have:

2 = 6-4  2 = 2

We observe that both sides of the equation are equal.

Therefore, the ordered pair solution is (6, 2)

Answer:

An ordered pair that is a solution of the equation y = x-4 is:

(6, 2)

The value of X in the figure ABCD witch is a rhombus
NeX [460]

Answer:

  x = 10°

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a rhombus divide the figure into congruent right triangles. That means the two marked acute angles are complementary.

__

<h3>solve for x</h3>

Complementary angles total 90°, so the relation we can use to find x is ...

  (3x -13) +(8x -7) = 90

  11x = 110 . . . . . . . . . add 20

  x = 10 . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The value of x is 10°.

The value of a house decreases at a steady rate of 20% each year. What is the total percentage loss (to the nearest integer) in
Westkost [7]

Answer: The total percentage loss would be 67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of decline each year = 20%

Number of years = 5

We need to find the total percentage loss in value of the house at the end of 5 years.

So, Total percentage loss would be

1-(1-\dfrac{r}{100})^5\\\\=1-(1-\dfrac{20}{100})^5\\\\=1-(\dfrac{4}{5})^5\\\\=1-(0.8)^5\\\\=0.67\\\\\approx 67%

Hence, the total percentage loss would be 67%.
