Answer:

X = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

since the angles are supplementary that means their sum is 180

<em> $5x + 15 + 10x = 180 \\ 15x + 15 = 180 \\ 15x = 180 - 15 \\ 15x = 165 \\ x = 165 \div 15 \\ x = 11$ </em>

ANSWER

The height is $22ft$

EXPLANATION

Let the height of the chimney be x.

$\tan(45 \degree) = \frac{x}{y}$

$1 = \frac{x}{y}$

$x = y$

$\tan(30 \degree) = \frac{x}{16+ y}$

$\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{3} = \frac{x}{16 + y}$

Cross multiply

$\sqrt{3} (16 + y) = 3x$

$16 \sqrt{3} + y \sqrt{3} = 3x$

Put

$y = x$

into the equation;

$16 \sqrt{3} + x \sqrt{3} = 3x$

Group similar terms:

$16 \sqrt{3}= 3x - x \sqrt{3}$

$16 \sqrt{3}= (3 - \sqrt{3})x$

$\frac{16 \sqrt{3} }{3 - \sqrt{3} } = x$

$x=21.856$

The height of the chimney to the nearest feet is 22
