If y = 6 when x = 8, then value of "x" when y = 9 is equal to 12
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that , In a certain function, y varies directly with x
And x = 8 when y = 6,
We have to find what will be the value of x when y = 9
Now, from the given information,
where c is the proportionality constant
Hence, x value is 12 when y value is 9
Answer:
The height of the pole is 167 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
Increase in the length of the shadow = 90 m
Initial angle of elevation of the Sun = 58°
Final angle of elevation of the Sun = 36°
We have a triangle formed by the change in the length of the shadow and the rays from the two angle of elevation to the top of the pole giving an angle 22° opposite to the increase in the length of the shadow
We have by sin rule;
90/(sin (22°) = (Initial ray from the top of the pole to the end of the shadow's length)/(sin(122°)
Let the initial ray from the top of the pole to the end of the shadow's length = l₁
90/(sin (22°) = l₁/(sin(122°)
l₁ = 90/(sin (22°) ×(sin(122°) = 283.3 m
Therefore;
The height of the pole = 283.3 m × sin(36°) = 166.52 m
The height of the pole= 167 m to three significant figures.
