Answer:

Those are complementary angles. Also, x would equal 55 in this situation

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 20 = 90

2x = 110

x = 55

A student stands 20 m away from the foot

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Height of tree is $\approx$ 15 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that student is 20 m away from the foot of tree.

and table is 1.5 m above the ground.

The angle of elevation is: 34°28'

Please refer to the attached image. The given situation can be mapped to a right angled triangle as shown in the image.

AB = CP = 20 m

CA = PB = 1.5 m

$\angle C$ = 34°28' = 34.46°

To find TB = ?

we can use trigonometric function tangent to find TP in right angled $\triangle TPC$

$tan \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\tan C= \dfrac{PT}{PC}\\\Rightarrow tan 34.46^\circ = \dfrac{PT}{20}\\\Rightarrow PT = 20 \times 0.686 \\\Rightarrow PT = 13.72\ m$

Now, adding PB to TP will give us the height of tree, TB

Now, height of tree TB = TP + PB

TB = 13.72 + 1.5 = 15.22 $\approx$ 15 m

Max went to the store and bought 22 apples. He bought twice as many red apples as he did green, and he bought one-third many yel

katrin [286]

Let the number of green apples bought be x

Green apples = x

Red apples = 2x

Yellow apples = 1/3 (2x) = 2/3 x

Total = 22 apples

x + 2x + 2/3 x = 22

11/3 x = 22

11x = 66

x = 6

Green apples = x = 6

Red apples = 2x = 2(6) = 12

Yellow apples = 2/3 (2x) = 2/3 (6) = 4

Answer: Green = 6, Red = 12, Yellow = 4

John’s father is 5 times older than John and John is twice as old as his sister Alice. In two years time, the sum of their ages

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

John’s age is 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> John’s father's age

y -----> John’s age

z -----> John’s sister's age

we know that

$x=5y$ -----> equation A

$y=2z$

$z=y/2$ -----> equation B

$(x+2)+(y+2)+(z+2)=58$

$x+y+z+6=58$

$x+y+z=52$ -----> equation C

Substitute equation A and equation B in equation C and solve for y

$5y+y+y/2=52$

Multiply by 2 both sides to remove the fraction

$10y+2y+y=104$

$13y=104$

$y=8$

Find the value of x

$x=5(8)=40$

Find the value of z

$z=8/2=4$

therefore

John’s father's age is 40 years

John’s age is 8 years

John’s sister's age is 4 years
