I would solve this using tangents. Let h be height of flagpole.
Set up 2 right triangles, each with a base of 40.
The larger triangle has height of "h+70"
Smaller triangle has height of 70.
Now write the tangent ratios:

Note: A-B = 9
To solve for h we need to use the "Difference Angle" formula for Tangent

Plug in what we know:



Answer: -7 = e
Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for <em>e</em>, we need to get <em>e</em> by itself on the right side of the equation. Since <em>e</em> is multiplied by 16, in order to get <em>e</em> by itself, we need to divide by 16 on the right side of the equation. If we divide by 16 on the right side of the equation, we must also divide by 16 on the left side of the equation.
On the right side of the equation the 16's cancel and we have <em>e</em>. On the right side of the equation -112 divided by 16 is -7. Remember that a negative divided by a positive is a negative.
So we have -7 = e which is the solution to our equation.
To check our solution, we can plug -7 in for <em>e</em> in the original equation. So we have -112 = 16 (-7) or -112 = -112 which is a true statement so our answer checks.

Answer:
<em>64 ; 8</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
a² ± 2ab + b² = (a ± b)²
x² + 2(8)(x) + 8² =
x² + 16x + <em>64</em> =
(x + <em>8</em>)²
