Step-by-step explanation:
First, distribute the -4 to the parenthesis:
24a-22=-4+24a
Add 22 to both sides:
24a-22+22=-4+22+24a
Simplify:
24a=18+24a
Subtract 24a from both sides:
24a-24a=18+24a-24a
Simplify:
0=18
hope this helps :)
Cosine again. Yay.
Put 36 into a fancy calculator with one of those cos() things. You get about 0.81.
So that's the ratio between x and 10.
So basically x/10 = 0.81, or 0.81 * 10 = x.
8.1 = x
The tree is 25 feet tall. Given the height of the stick and the shadow it cast, the angle formed by the sun and the stick's height can be obtained by taking the Inverse Tangent of 3/5. This is equal to 30.93. This angle is equal to the angle formed by the sun and the tree's height. Using the tangent formula, Tan (30.93)=tree's shadow (15 ft)/ height of the tree, giving the answer 25 feet.
