Answer:
6.50x + 5 = 21.25 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
x=2.5
Answer:
20.485 Meters
Step-by-step explanation:
So first you wanna draw a diagram. Start with the tower, then on the ground to the left (or right) draw a point. The point will be labeled as 42 m away from the tower. Now draw a line from that point to the top of the tower. This makes your triangle, and that angle you just drew that touches the point is 26 degrees.
Now, since you have a right triangle you can use trig. You know an angle and a side. Specifically, relative to the 26 degree angle you know the adjacent angle and want the opposite, which is the tower. So opposite and adjacent is tangent. So you set up tan(26) = o/42 where o is the opposite side.
So solving you get o = 20.485 meters
If we represent Tobin's speed as x, we can write her opponent's speed as
x-2 (since Tobin is 2 more than them). In addition, since it's in miles per hour, and 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, we can say that 3/4ths of her speed in miles per hour is how long the race is, so (3/4)(x-2)=distance of race. In addition, since it only took Tobin 30 minutes, and 30 minutes is half an hour, x/2 (half of her miles per hour) is the length of the race, so (3/4)(x-2)=(1/2)x. Expanding it, we get 3x/4-6/4=x/2. Subtracting x/2 (or 2x/4) from both sides, we get x/4-6/4=0 and by adding 6/4 to both sides we get x/4=6/4. Multiplying 4 to both sides, we get that x=6=Tobin's speed in miles per hour
D on both ...................
(x+2)(x+8) = x^2 +10x +16
(x^2 + 10x + 16)(x-1) = x^3+9x^2+6x-16, so the other dimension is x-1
