Answer:

  Bob

Step-by-step explanation:

The "steepness," or slope, of the mountain is the ratio of height to horizontal distance to the base:

  Joe's mountain slope = 1200/1500 = 0.8

  Bob's mountain slope = 900/1000 = 0.9

Bob's mountain has a greater slope than Joe's. Bob climbed the steeper mountain.

4a/3-b/4=6<br> 5a/6+b=13<br> Solve linear system by elimination
kondor19780726 [428]
\bf \cfrac{4a}{3}-\cfrac{b}{4}=6&#10;\qquad \qquad &#10;\cfrac{5a}{6}+b=13&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{let us remove the denominators off those folks}\\&#10;\textit{by multiplying the first one by 12, both sides}\\&#10;\textit{and the second one by 6, both sides, thus}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;12\left( \cfrac{4a}{3}-\cfrac{b}{4} \right)=12(6)\implies 16a-4b=72&#10;\\\\\\&#10;6\left( \cfrac{5a}{6}+b \right)=6(13)\implies 5a+6b=78

\bf  \textit{now, let's do the elimination}&#10;\\\\&#10;&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;16a-4b=72&\boxed{\times 3}\implies &48a-\underline{12b}=216\\\\&#10;5a+6b=78&\boxed{\times 2}\implies &10a+\underline{12b}=156\\&#10;&&--------\\&#10;&&58a+0\quad=372&#10;\end{array}

solve for "a", once you get "a", plug it back into either equation to get "b"

the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the top of the tree is 36 degrees. find the distance from the top of the tr
Bas_tet [7]
In order to fully understand the problem, it is best to sketch it. Sketching the system, we will see that the system forms a triangle where the angle of elevation is 36 degrees. We are asked to find the hypotenuse. We can use a trigonometric function. It should be noted that one of the sides should also be given in order to calculate the hypotenuse. Trigonometric functions that can be used are:

sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos(theta) = adjacent / hypotenuse
