<h3>Answer:  10</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

The two smaller triangles are proportional, which lets us set up this equation

5/n = n/15

Cross multiplying leads to

5*15 = n*n

n^2 = 75

----------

Apply the pythagorean theorem on the smaller triangle on top, or on the right.

a^2+b^2 = c^2

5^2+n^2 = m^2

25+75 = m^2

100 = m^2

m^2 = 100

m = sqrt(100)

m = 10

What is the solution to the equation represented by the model below?
Verizon [17]

Left side:

x+x+x+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 3x + 8


Right side:

x+x+x+x++1+1+1+1+1+1


Left side = Right side to solve x


3x + 8 = 4x + 6

Subtract 4x from both sides

3x + 8 - 4x = 4x + 6 - 4x

Simplify

-x + 8 = 6

Subtract 8 from both sides

-x + 8 - 8 = 6 - 8

Simplify

-x = -2

Multiply both sides by (-1)

-x * (-1) = -2 * (-1)

Simplify

x = 2


Answer

C. x = 2

Travis spies an owl in a tall tree. He estimates the height of the tree to be 85 feet and the angle of elevation to the bird fro
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

63.44 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

tan(68 degrees)= 85/y  

y tan (68 degrees)=85

y=85/tan(68 degrees) ( cross multiply)

y = 34.34 feet

tan (41 degrees)=85/x+y

(x+y)tan(41 degrees)=85

x+y=85/tan 41 degrees

x=85/tan(41 degrees) - y

x= 85/tan (41 degrees)-(34.34) (cross multiply)

Therefore, Travis stepped back 63.44 feet to gain a better view!
